I am with the school that doesn't use any. The SM says to only use silicone sealant at two points (the moon-shaped part by the cams), but if you don't pull the rubber gasket off, you should be able to reuse it without resealing it. I suppose there is nothing wrong with sealing it, but I prefer to keep it clean.... especially since I am likely to reopen it if something didn't seat right.
