IMHO;
Definately not on the head gasket or the crank seals.
I understand why people use it with the base gasket (though I've never seen one leak), I just use a smear of grease which means the gasket doesn't stick when you take it apart again.
A light smear with a good sealant between any bottom end faces that are metal to metal without a gasket is OK.
