You'll find tub and tile products in plain latex and silicon, and "siliconized" versions. If it's tub & tile it should have antifungal agents. Some seem more effective than others.
If you're having repeated mildew problems be sure you're cleaning well before re-applying. Clean the heck out of the seal area and use a mildew killer. I get the last of the soap scum with isopropyl alcohol (amazing how much is left after the normal cleaners) and then spray a 25% bleach/water solution for 15minutes before a final rinse. Then I run a fan, preferably overnight, before caulking.
Beyond that it's up to ventilation and periodic cleaning.See a spot? Kill it. Humid areas will always be fungus friendly. Don't let it take hold.
