Hello,
I'm new to the group. I have a 2009 AHH and it has 135 spacing. I
believe the Saluki which the AHH replaced had 132.5 spacing.

+1 to Patrick's advice. I also just built my first bike (Riv Blériot) and
sought advice on this from various sources. The rules of thumb I used were:
1) grease where the threads are big and strong (like on a BB) or on
unthreaded connections (e.g. stem into top tube). I used Phil grease.

People seem to love or hate M-bars. They took some getting used to for me, and
getting them up high enough really helped. Now they are my preferred climbing
bars (We do hilly training rides 2x a week April - August). You can get
surprisingly aero on them for fast descents as well.
