Default Boeshield vs. LPS-? vs. ???

Ok, so I am about to put my aileron bellcranks on the front spars, and I have a question on what it used for lubrication. I did a quick search and it looks like there hasn't been a lot of discussion on this topic up to this point. I found a website -- www.boeshield.com -- that discusses one of these products. All of the literature sounds promising with this product, but I am interested in hearing from those that use this, or LPS-(1,2,3, etc.) or something else, as their general purpose lubricant for aileron belcranks, bearings, etc.

Thanks in advance for the input.

Rob

I seem to recall my manual saying any old grease will work. Regular white litheum grease from Home Depot is what I used. I don't think you need to spend much money here.

Avoid anything with silicone, as it will make it impossible to get a good paint job.
