303 every time is OK.  Keeps the latex supple and protects it from
oxidation -- especially important if you live in a smog-infested place. 
Thus recommendeth Kokatat and the people I bought my paddling jacket from.

Silicone can ruin latex; ditto Armorall and similar.  (Silicon is the stuff
in transistors and integrated circuits -- hard, brittle, grey, shiny.)
