I know a lot of people frown upon WD40, so what would be the next best thing to drip down the fluted seatpost and lube it up?

Honestly if you can get it moving I'd just spray whatever lube you have (penetrating lube if you have it) and force the post out. I'd not want to wait too long on a post that's half stuck.
