Park Tools Polylube. It's thick, green, gooey and slick.

On one bike I have a Campy rear hub with an oil port. I squirt a little of Phil's Tenacious Oil in there from time to time.

I've heard that white lithium grease is good for hubs, but I've never used it.

i think the Park Tools Polylube is great and so is phil i have some issues with the finishline. it feels strange when you put it in older hubs. almost gritty. i have stopped using it on bearings because i have been able to get a smooth feel out of it.

Is there any grease that isn't good for bearings. The list might be shorter.

Plain ole' white grease. Haven't ever really gotten into the boutique greases.
