If the lug nuts/bolts are put on properly - not too high torque - you should
be able to get them off OK with the lug wrench.  I've never used anti seize
or any other lubricant, but I don't see how it could hurt.  I know if the
lugs/bolts are left to set long enough without lubricant they will tend to
weld themselves together, making them difficult to remove - as you know!
