What type of anti seize do you use? I was using regular but was told to start using nickel on spark plugs. Was going to use copper for the exhaust

So I use the gray ant seize on something like exhaust.
It is very fine aluminum in a petroleum base.
Messy crap
Copper anti seize (copper slip) is for applications like spark plugs where you want good electrical conductivity along with the anti seize properties.
Spark plugs ground via the threads in the block so Copper anti seize.
I have used the gray (aluminum) on plugs with no problems.
So really it could be used for just about any anti seize application.
I have not seen nickel anti seize.
But I wasn't looking for it either
