I didn't read all the posts here, but did anyone mention kopr-shield? This compound is specifically made for mating surfaces of hi current connections and is widely used industrially. It fills minute gaps with conductive material and seals out moisture. It is also a good anti seize. This is the stuff for bolted connections and crimped lugs (treat the wire).

Silicone dielectric grease is excellent for all connectors, from antenna to shore power. It squeezes out to one molecule thickness and electrons pass through it by tunnel effect so it does not interfere with the connection. Other types of grease can interfere and should not be used. Treated metals will resist corrosion far longer, and just the thinnest coating does the job.
