Lithium white grease? In my experience it's something to avoid. Sure it's good but eventually gets gummed up, "cakes" and can increase wear after dirt gets attracted to it and starts to cake and get everywhere. But I guess if you take it apart every few games it probably doesn't get to the point where it gets gummy, cakes up, and flakes off. It's much better to use something like Modify Gear grease which contains PTFE (AKA Teflon) since it doesn't seem to cake at least when I used it.
As for the superlube interesting choice, I'd like to see how it works out for you in the long term. According to the website it doesn't run, drip, evaporate form gummy deposits, and will not melt or separate. Seems like a good choice.
I just want to see what everyone else is using and how it's working for them.
EDIT: @ Spike - According to the website apparently it is safe:
