Silicone paste doesn't work well if the surfaces move around at all. Pads are not as effective. If there was a way to make absolutely sure both surfaces stay put under use while pressing the surfaces together firmly, then regular thermal paste would be an ideal choise. Since that isn't easily feasible using the stock case, thermal tape would be the next choice, but it's not as effective and still prone to the same problems as the original tape. So, that leaves thermal epoxy. The only downside to that is that you can't seperate them again. In the end, it's all about compromises.
