I have used a small ammount of antisieze on my TJ, but not for my JK. My reasoning for not doing it is due to the fact that I put mirrors in the holes and I store them in a bag with other stuff when not in use. I don't want the antisieze getting on everything. But it works really well.

x2 It doesnt take much of it either and I just wipe off any extra if it happens to get on the hinge.

Default wd40

i just squirt WD40 in the male and female areas of the hinge every once in a while. Keeps doors quiet and slide right out on removal. most people should have some wd40 laying around.

good luck

Or something like that.
And if it doesn't move, paint it. And if it does move, salute it!

But, in this case I'd go with the white lithium grease.
