I prefer to use a small amount of a copper based anti-size paste on my spark plug threads. Anti-sieze should not be applied on the the first 2-3 threads nearest the spark plug electrode. Anti-seize applied to the first couple threads nearest the spark plug electrode increases the chance of spark plug fouling and may be pushed into the engine cylinder causing fouling. NGK does not specifically recommend anti-seize when installing their spark plugs, but I add a spot anyway and have never had a problem
More important is using a torque wrench to install the spark plugs at 20 lb-ft to prevent stripping the threads in the aluminum head (though I didn't use a torque wrench for years and didn't have a problem, better safe than sorry) and using di-electric grease inside the spark plug boot to prevent the boot from bonding to the sparkp plug body (and prevent moisture from getting ito the spark plug boot). It only takes a thin smear of di-electic grease inside the spark plug boot (or DI cassette boot) which I usually apply using a Q-tip or wooden stick (large toothpick).
