I'm strictly a fair-weather rider, so I use automotive wheel bearing grease. If a car's loose ball bearings can go 50K-100K without servicing, it should be fine for bike hubs. For what it's worth, after re-packing and zero-play adjustment. the wheels can spin for longer than two minutes after a manual shove.
