If the o-ring won't stay put with a dab or two of any of the above then you probably have an incorrectly sized o-ring. Many of the larger chain hardware stores (HomeDepot) have a selection of o-ring in different dimensions. Be sure to use an o-ring that sits slightly proud of the face surface. Nothing wrong with using any of the above as well for extra sealing - I prefer to use Permatex Form-A-Gasket rather than RTV for gasket sealing. I've seen excess RTV drool end up in some undesirable places (oil passageways).
