Teflon tape or pipe thread dope ?
Which do you use on your metal to metal water heater plug ? My old trailer had a plastic plug so nothing was required, but this one has an anode. Guy

I don't use either on the anode rod plug. Metal to metal. That's because I drain the tank after every trip. I have an occasional drip, but that's no big deal! It's not like the plug is going to be in there permanently. It get removed too much.
But for what it's worth, I haven't used plumbers putty on "anything" in the last 30 years. Teflon tape only on everything for me. I've only used plumbers putty under a sink to help seal it to the counter top when replacing the sink or around sink drain, or a shower drain hole.
My other option was pipe thread dope, not plumbers putty.
I only use that between a sink drain and the sink along with a rubber gasket.
