Most/many of the current insulators are "greaseless",
the mfgrs don't spec any included sink compound.
The problem with the wakefield type of grease is a
migration over time issue. The compound actually
"walks" or moves over a long period of time. Not
good if you really need the compound to stay put.
I error on the side of "old-school" (a term much
over used by younger people). I still include the
grease, regardless of the insulator type.
I figure 20 plus years of operation is probably long
enough before I have to possibly worry about
re-greasing the transistor insulators...
Your results will probably vary
