Good anti-seize compound to get?

What brand or what kind of anti-seize compound is primarily good for exhaust bolt thread and o2 sensor thread and also majority of bolt thread on the car.

loctite anti-sieze. I use it for my o2 sensor and the manifold-to-midpipe bolts and no problems so far

Thx guys for advice. After spending some gas and mileage, I bought the Permatex Nickel anti-seize compound. It's the highest temperature rating (1315degree celcius) compound that I can find. Even my dealership doesn't use that high rating.
