Kind of like asking about oil. Everyone uses what seems to work the best for them. I'm not a fan of the silicone type stuff. Couple dabs of contact cement on a hard to hold gasket, and a tiny line of the rtv where specified on later model engines. Old school I know, Permatex makes a thread sealant for bolts that pass into water jackets. They do some amazing things with new sealants now. Most gasket set come with do's and don'ts.
