With my deep experience with silicone caulk (including leaky showers ;-)
I'd say that the problem with silicone is that it doesn't "wet" many
surfaces. If there's any motion or vibration, I'd be afraid that it
would develop a small gap at the surface interface and draw up water via
a capillary effect. I'd go with marine epoxy, myself.
One-off project or 100K/month commerial or ...?
