When installing a replacement bathroom faucet, in the past I have seen plumbers use plumber's putty on the perimeter of the 3 hole faucet, to prevent sink water from getting under the faucet.

Silicone or Plumber's Putty?
Some of my plumbing fixtures came with silicone gaskets. They are also for sale by by themself. I would use silicone as a last resort due to it being messy and sloppy looking.
