Outside of certain gaskets, ie. head gasket, exhaust stuff, etc, I really think you guys are just spitting hairs here.
(The last felpro head gasket had rtv on it)
Anyhoo, I personally use rtv on a lot of seals, mostly because when I go to remove them years later, they come off, (apart), easier.
On American auto trannies, I let rtv set up on the seal for some time before tightening, never had one leak.
If it works for you, great! No need to get into a huff over this one.
