Replacing cylinderhead

What do you use on a modern copper gasket?

There seems to be a wide variety of opinions and experiences on this, from just grease it to using blue hylomar. 
I use the latter — spraying a thin film on all four surfaces which works well for me. Important though to torque down the head nuts with the central three leading the way.
