I'm definitely pro grease.
I was told it, I've seen mechanics do it, and I've never damaged a crankset.
But the way I do it is- liberal grease, and then use a cloth to wipe away basically all of it, so that there's still a layer of grease, but its very fine.
It definitely aids removal, and is a life saver if you are using the stronglight crank extractor.
