There's not enough thermal difference between them to worry about. I use both. But MX-4 is not electrically conductive like AS5 is. So if you want to avoid accidentally getting some where it should go, grab the mx-4.

Yes, there are better (more expensive) TIM out there. But the difference in thermal temps is very minor. Maybe a couple degrees C.
