In my experience, AN spray made a real mess of things. I had big spots all
over my scan and I never used it again, although I know a scanner operator that
uses it with success. I would imagine using in an enlarger would have similar
results. After use, film cleaner is needed to get the AN spray off.
The AN dust I have is so fine as to be like a puff of smoke and I've never seen
anything in the print from it. If I had to use a glass neg carrier all the
time I might sing a different tune and try the AN glass, but given how
infrequently it's needed here, the AN dust works out fine. A couple shots of
compressed air after printing and back in the sleeve it goes.

Anti-Newton spray or talc powder is simply another way to provide a fine
texture between the negative and the holder glass. It is messier than
anti-Newton glass, and if you're against any texture in the optical path
between negative and print, then this should be just as problematic.
