Anti Seize Compound Advice

I have a couple of types down stairs and have always used them haphazardly and randomly. There are better less hacky engineers than myself on this forum.
What types are there? And what are their optimal uses? What should they not be used on?
Typical uses for me:
On chassis stuff, I always grease fasteners with normal GP grease prior to installation so that it's a breeze next time. If going into a cavity, I tend to grease both the fastener, and the hole, so the grease in the hole is pushed inside forever to keep the fastener nice and moist.
Go! :-D

Typical uses for me:
- Exhaust/turbo/manifold fasteners
- Wheel studs/nuts
- Disk brake pad backing plates and shims
