So I am building my first MB. I thought I would get the Parks Big Blue Book to help me out which it certainly has but I am curious what most of use when building.
Do you grease on all the bolts or do you use anti-seize or both?
I am fairly familar with good greases but who makes good anti-seize compund or is all pretty much the same thing?

Grease is fine, but beware, it can lead to overtightening which is a big no no with aluminium.

I always use anti-seize on cartridge bottom brackets, but otherwise I just use good quality (Teflon-fortified) grease. Unless there's titanium involved - that always gets anti-seize, never just grease.
All anti-seize compound seems to be about the same, in my experience.

Careful using grease on bolts that thread into a closed end space... so I've been told.
