As for anti-rust, I've had really good luch with never-seize products. I can't think of the particular product but I will try and find out. I've had parts sit outside for >2yrs and there was no rust.
My biggest concern would be seals. I'm not sure what to do here, maybe vasoline?

I'd recommend a product called LPS-3, available in aerosol cans, 1 gallon, 5 gallon, etc. It only comes off when you want it to. Doesn't seem to hurt rubber or paint.
