that would be best, assuming you don't need the insulation (electrical vs. thermal) which you shouldn't. just make very certain you don't use so much of the silver grease that it squishes out onto nearby leads, but again with the newer processors having all of their leads underneath them and not coming out the side it shouldn't be as much of a problem. you could use a small amount of the el cheapo grease around the edges to keep the good stuff off the leads if it were a problem like on the 601.
