Random question I know but I'd like to know which gear grease/lube everyone uses and why.

I've been doing a lot of MTB lately and got hooked on this Wax based chain lube, it goes on wet and dries to a dry finish. It's super clean and doesn't attract dust or dirt or anything. I'm currently experimenting and I'm thinking that it might be great for those super dry dusty areas (I'm looking at you Alberta/Sask).

I've tried the PTFE/Teflon greases from companies like Modify and such but it seems to me it can attract dust and dirt and also get gummed up (what kind of interval are we looking at though?) resulting in higher wear. Obviously if you take care of your gearbox and clean it and do maintenance every few months and at the start/end season it shouldn't matter too much but I'm one of those people who are power users and want to try different/unconventional things.

Also, I feel that wet lubes although good and you don't have to do it as often they attract dust, dirt and have a chance of getting whipped around off the gears compared to something that dries up and leaves a film of lube.
