Air Hose Fitting Installation: Thread Sealer VS Teflon Tape VS Pre-Applied

Air hoses and air tools work best with a leak-free connection, but does Teflon tape, thread sealant, or pre-applied threadlocker provide the best seal? In this YouTube video, we test out three types, show you how to apply two of them (the pre-applied threadlocker is basically the same, but you don't have to apply it) before listening in with a microphone to see if there are any leaks. One of them had a really bad leak, but it was likely a different issue. What do you think?
