      I have done it both ways and either works. IF you do grease them, make sure to use something rubber safe, which it seems not all caliper greases are. I use Sil-Glyde and you don't need much. The ATE Plastilube would work also.
      
      Reman'd/rebuilt calipers always seem to be greased.
      
      Sil-Glyde:
