I run plenty of anti seize compound on the threads, the drive lugs and the taper where the nut meets the wheel. No problems with galling. I reckon stainless would be OK.

Galling with stainless is usually only a problem with like metals i.e stainless on stainless. Running a steel nut on a stainless bolt is usually pretty right. If you use stainless on stainless try to use different grades like a 316 bolt with a 304 nut and they should be pretty proof against galling.

This is just my experience, others may have found different.

Cheers
