I would use copper slip
Copaslip (trade name) or a generic copper based anti-seize compound probably won't do any harm, but Sapim's testing claims that their anodised 7075 nipples are actually more corrosion resistant than brass. I think on balance I'd take something with better lubricity.

Yeah I thought I read that somewhere. I mean the internet is full of people saying different things. I've built wheels with brass nipples using aforementioned chain lube and never had an issue. Hoping to do the same with these alloy ones but will go out and purchase something else if I have to.
Should I get some linseed oil?

I would use copper slip for that... you really really don't want the CX ray to seize as if it does it's terminal... maybe front only?
