The Big Problem with using Anti Seize is that It allows you to Over Torque ! This of course causes all sorts of problems later! On Parts that are supposed to move I'm sure that Anti Seize will be just fine but on Parts the are supposed to be secure You should be very careful using it!

man each to his own, but I like my lug nuts tight and squeaky from rust when I break them loose.
And galling to where a torque reading means nothing !

Anti Seize on the slides and torqued lug nuts.
I put grease on the exposed threads of the lug stud to prevent rust and ensure the lug nuts come off without stripping or breaking the stud when changing a tire. Learned this lesson when changing a tire on my boat trailer on I45 in Houston. Thankfully I always carry an extra hub assembly with packed bearings installed.

something to think about....
The usage of anti-seize for disc brake pin, slide and pad lube began back in the day that no other product was available. Because of this accepted usage I understand why people continue the usage.
The big issue with anti-seize usage is the "potential" for damage to rubber brake system parts and ultimately contaminating the fluid. Modern brake lubricants are formulated with silicone to prevent brake system compatibility issues. Anti-seize products are not.
But use what ever floats your boat....

Use the wet torque when lube is used.

I used antiseize on the tire studs for my Jeep. The local tire shop told me this was a real bad idea since it results in overtightened lugnuts since it results in a lubing effect for the tire studs.

As a retired mechanic all I can say is "it's all about the money" many years ago the major brake mfg. specifically said don't put grease, lube etc. on calipers break wear points and such. Reason is it is great when it is clean but as dirt accumulates from road and break usage that the dirt will stick to the grease making it all worse. Now that they make it to sell they promote it.

I’m an Anti-seize Freak! Most folks don’t know that Anti-seize are a compound that comes in different formulas for different applications. So if you are going to use Anti-seize you should use the right compound for the right application. Some people that don’t like Anti-seize after using it might have used the wrong compound or Anti-seize shouldn’t have been used in that application. There is always a big confusion and debate using anti-seize because it has been used as a generic name and not all the brands are alike. Like thread locking products, some of my friends would buy and use one type, because an application asked for “Thread Locking Compound” and blame the product, but they were simply using the wrong type of stuff (strength, colour, etc) or applied it wrong. I know years ago, I was too cheap to buy different compounds and have since figured out that I was better off using nothing, then using the wrong stuff. There is a very good reason they sell brake calliper lubricant at the auto supply store. Where I buy mine, the same company that makes the calliper lubricant, also makes an anti-seize, so in my opinion, why would I use their product and not use the right one. I did use anti-seize years ago on my brakes and the type I used, I found that it did attract dirt, brake dust and dried out. My dad was a licence auto mechanic and would say what did the manufacturer put on it and would tell me all I was missing was bugs, so I should rub a little honey on after I applied the anti-seize to my moving brake parts LOL. He put a bottle of honey on my shelf beside my anti-seize can in my garage a few years before he past away and attached a label “AUTOMOTIVE HONEY: DANGER!! ONLY TO BE USED BY CERTIFIED AUTO MECHANICS”. It still gets me laughing and thinking. His way of thinking was, if it said don’t use on brakes why would you? And if it doesn’t say to use it on brakes, let someone else be the Test Pilot.
