I am guessing that is a 3.0 gasket? I like the idea of the rubber seal on it. I personally would put a thin coat on both sides. I have not done a 3.0 water pump gasket but some one with experience on it will give better advise.

The gasket that came with the AISIN WP is a fine gasket. It's been installed as-is without RTV or any other additional goop on several 3.4 WPs I've done and never have had a single issue. I see no reason why the performance on the 3.0 will not be the same.

Do what ever makes you happy.
If you don`t do the blue silicone I myself would wonder every time I went some place is now the time it starts to leak.
I know in my case it is all physiological
We all have our on thing Just like I refuse to weld on a vehicle without removing the negative battery terminal.
