FWIW, a properly torqued fastner shouldnt require anything. Now I am just as guilty as any of using all of the above. And yes, I have even used lock washers with nylocs AND loctite before.
But think about your engine. Connecting rods, Main caps, valley pans, oil pump, head bolts, etc. About everything inside the engine that has a bolt. It is very rare to find loctite or lock washers. And they go through lots of heat cycling and vibrations. Heat cycling dont get much more extreme than aluminum heads on an iron block...
