What grease is a good question. Losmandy use Moly Paste, but it's stupidly expensive, at least for the ones with a proper high percentage of molbdenum content.

Other than that you want ones with a wide rating for temperatures.

Then there's viscosity that I don't know about. Maybe someone else wants to chip in here?
