An alternative to lock nuts would be thread locker (loctite). There are several different flavors depending on how much hold you need.
IMO, nyloc nuts are the way to go most of the time. Yes, they will lose their ability to hold if they are frequently removed, but you can get a good number of uses out of them before a noticeable decline in holding power. As an example, how often do you change your RC wheel nuts?
With all this talk about locking threads you gotta be careful not to bust a nut while trying to twist one out!
