Default Alignment bolts: anti-seize or bearing grease?

I have 2 alignment bolts that are seized in their bushings on the front of my car (one caster, one camber). I've decided to just replace all of them while I'm at it. Since this seems to be a common issue, what is the best thing to put on there to keep it from happening again? Anti-seize seems to be the obvious choice, but I worry that it would dry up since it will be a bit more exposed than it would be when it's used on a bolt. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Steven I hear you can just leave them tq'd to like 10 foot pounds and that will help them from seizing back up!
