Chain-L is better/quieter/longer lasting but the I switched to Boeshield bicycle lubricant since I started riding in a sandy environment. Wet lubricants attract sand like honey. I work in aviation so I chose Boeshield for its corrosion resistance. I don't engage in the chain cleaning shenanigan of many BF members. I just wipe the (10sp) chain down in between lubes and replace them at ~4k miles.
