Spark Plug Blowout

I'm about to change the spark plugs on my 2001 Expy 5.4 L and I was curious what you guys think about using red loctite on the spark plug threads, so i don't have to worry them blowing out.I don't have the money for helicoils or any kind of inserts.Also is there a certain type of plug that is less likely to blow out.

do NOT use loctite. Like Beechkid said, some anti-sieze on the plugs and a torque wrench will go a long way.
