Copper Slip or normal grease for the bottom bracket threads and seat tube of a titanium frame?

I have watched a few build videos recently on YouTube and grease seems to be used instead of copper slip.

Copper Slip has worked fine for me for 20years of Ti bikes with aluminium and steel BBs.

Deffo copper slip or Ti-prep. Normal grease won't protect from galvanic corrosion.

Copper for bb shell and seattube and raw ti bolts, but I just use mobil xhp222 grease with my colour anodised ti bolts, controversial.

Any differing metals- copper slip.

Ive been using copper slip. I just thought I’d make sure because all these chaps building bikes on the internet don’t seem to bother.
