Default Caliper seals

My calipers have been playing up for a while so I'm putting on a spare set I have. The caliper and pistons are fine (unlike the ones I have that get too sticky too quickly) but I wanted to put new seals in.

I've heard that some people do not agree that bathing the seals in brake fluid is a good idea and that you should use red grease - but it this just on the dust seal or the fluid seal as well - wont the grease affect the fluid if its got direct contact with it? I grease the psitons when I clean them now but not down to the fluid seal.

Any tips appreciated
