Square taper I always but a sheen on them. Like a dab of grease and wipe off most of it. Same with headset cups.
I'm a definite no on cable outer - never had issues with modern housing. I find the trouble usually occurs if grime accumulates where the cable enters the housing and grease does not help that.
I read caliper mounting bolts as the nut holding them to the frame. Although that would be a nut not a bolt... I usually use a dab of grease but recently have been using a small amount of loctite 248. The stuff that looks like lipstick.
