I'm not sure Tri-Flow is "better" but it's what I have around and so I use it and so far, I've seen no reason to change. I'm sure a somewhat heavier body oil, within reason, would work at least as well.
All I really recommend is to be sure not to use any lube that's so heavy it solidifies in cold weather.
