Water pump question

Putting a new water pump (and radiator, and t-stat) on the 300. Where the heater hose fitting screws in to the water pump - do I put anti-seize on the threads, or something else, or nothing at all?

I like to use teflon tape on them. I does the same thing as anti-sieze as far as preventing it from siezing, and it also acts as a sealant to ensure you don't get leaks.

Thanks. I remember being told way back when that teflon tape shouldn't be used on automotive cooling systems, but maybe that was wrong. I didn't question it.
