Rebuilding Superbe Pedals

Hi, I have gathered what I need to rebuild a pair of Suntour Superbe road pedals.
My question is about using loctite on the bearing cartridges on reassembly. What color and type (liquid/paste) would you recommend?
I read somewhere to use green loctite, but the description seems... aggressive. How would blue paste work?

For the record, I chose these bearings, from Amazon:
2) 10x19x7 Rubber Sealed Bearing 63800-2RS
2) 8x19x6 Rubber Sealed Bearing 698-2RS

New here, thanks for the helpful forum! (i gotta be chatty so I can post and reply on the marketplace lol)

I wouldn't use loctite at all but grease. In spite of these 'sealed' bearings being 'sealed, some of the glue 'can' migrate to the bearings. You don't need to glue them in, they won't fall out but you need to make sure they don't creak.
