For Titanium bolts you want to use a good quality copper grease or Ti-Prep. There are complex reasons as to why it works, something to do with the crystalline structure of Titanium and how it reacts with aluminium. Anyway, always use anti sieze on ti bolts, or you will need to pay some one with a good workshop a lot of cash to drill them out.
Banjo bolts should be a dry assembly, but do anneal your old copper washers first if you are planning on reusing them.
For rebuilding your calipers, use red rubber grease to fit your seals and pistons. This stuff does not react with brake fluid and will keep your seals healthy for longer.
Have fun and keep the updates coming.
