I do not do any competition, racing, hillclimb or other stuff thar runs an engine hard but for head gaskets I only use a smear on both sides of GP grease. For sealing studs that may leak oil or water I use loctite silicon sealer. I have a silicon sump gasket and on the next strip down will no doubt use silicon gasket for crankcase to block. For all other paper gaskets I use Permatex 80019 Aviation which is protection against oil and fuel leaks. I like this because it is non hardening and comes off easily when cleaning with spirit.
