Definitely use the ARP lube - never heard of using loctite on a rod bolt…

To get the correct clamping load, which is all that matters, you need to use the ARP lube. Their torque specs. are based on their lube. If for some reason you really wanted to use a locktite product on the rod nuts, you would have to use the stretch method.
