How often you clean and lube is infinitely more important than what you use.
Enjoy
First time in recent memory that I saw a sensible answer in a thread about chain lube.
Of course no one will get it, and this will go on forever about almost useless info, thinking the material is more important. I clean my chains often enough and correctly. Some people notice, they ask what lube I use, not how do I do it!!!
Then they have to have what I use.
I have given up trying to explain.
