I use the Loctite Blue threadlocker a lot on anything that has low torque tightening and a possibility of vibration.
I use the stronger Red Loctite on larger diameter bolts, and the Green Loctite Stud and Bearing Mount for exactly that. High torque applications.
BTW, the Green sometimes needs a heat assist to get a release, so watch it.

As for superglue, I use that on stuff that has low shear (twist/slide) need, such as repair of a cracked part that can be repainted, but does not need ultimate strength.

Blue thread locker works good for low torque applications and for aluminum.

Red for larger fasteners and higher torque, not recemended for use on aluminum.

Use a good anti sieze compound on fasteners that are removed on a regular basis.... (lug nuts, etc)

You wouldn't believe the strength of some of that stuff. Most do not realize there are different strengths and uses for each.
