I use Mobil 1 because that's what I use at work.
Personally, I don't like Mobil 1 because it has a tendency for the oil to separate (as do most synthetics, it would seem)... while it's not a concern with lubrication ability, I worry about it dripping while the bike is being stored indoors over carpet. I'm using Mobilgrease XHP 222 at the moment; agree just about any wheel bearing grease will do.

A lot of ppl like white lithium grease for bike stuff, but I find that it smells realllllly bad once it's contaminated, so I kinda hate it. It works pretty well, but it seems to break down more quickly than some of the higher-end options..... maybe I just think that b/c i can smell a stank fishy smell coming from riding buddies' headsets sometimes.
Surprised that the smell of white lithium grease smells bad to you. The Lucas heavy-duty polyurea smells bad in my opinion (their red&tacky only smells marginally better).
Yes, I'm a grease sniffer. LOL
