Thermal Paste for Ati Silencer 4?

Hi,

I'm thinking of getting an ATI Silencer 4, but I'm not sure what type of thermal paste to get with it. Does anyone here have any recommendations? Thanks.
 
I would also consider AS Ceramique. I like how adhesive and thick it is, you could use those properties on the pads for the RAM chips as I've heard that there can be a gap when you use the ATI Silencer 4 on the X800 series of cards.
 
Is there anything wrong with Artic Silver 2 and 3? I have a tube of each and don't really want to get more for my applications (NV Silencer 5) just because it has a higher number

I bought a brand new Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer v3 for my old 9800 Pro, it came with some basic white silicone grease, not the premium silver based stuff we all know and love.

 
I went all fancy and used AS5 for the core and AS Ceramique on the RAM chips using an ATI Silencer 4 on my X800 Pro. It cut temps like crazy - peak temperatures of 60-80C dropped to the mid 45's (usually around 40C!).
