While nothing is required, if you're planning on shunt-feeding the tower
it'd be helpful for electrical continuity. There's nothing that I know of
specifically for galvanized joints but I wouldn't be afraid to use NoAlOx or
any other sort of electrical anti-oxidant.
BTW a Super Titan would be a S300 while the regular Titan is a T300.
Also while the manufacturer (Rohn) doesn't say anything specifically
about using a lubricant with their 25G, 45G, etc., I always apply some sort of
grease to the inside of the bottom legs to make them slide together more
easily during erection. While I use any old automotive grease, if you're going
to
shunt-feed the tower I'd use some anti-oxidant to make sure you've got a good
electrical connection.
