PT: Plastic hot water connection. Which compound to use??

Hi, I have a leak on the hot water inlet of my concealed Aqualisa Gainsborough shower.
I have stripped it back and with the hot water feed on I can see the drip appear at the bottom of the plastic screw fitting.

I want to ensure that when I re-tile it, I won't have the same problem in the future and was wondering what to use around the plastic thread to make a well sealed connection, (PTFE, boss white, etc etc) bearing in mind it is the hot feed of a plastic/nylon inlet.

(I have attached a photo and the leak is appearing on the screw nut with the red dots)

Many Thanks for any advice.
