Ahhhh...grease. Yep this topic has been discussed once or twice. I've used Park and Phil's for 30 years or so. Back in the 70's/80's when I worked in shops most of the shops used Lubriplate but I never really liked it.

For the past few years I've been using Shimano and Motorex 2000 with great results. I use my 45 year old tub of Campy grease on pedal threads and marine grease on the bottom head tube bearing (habit of mine).

Take your pick! Heck, Chapstick might work in a pinch. We aren't running our bearings at 3000 RPM or at 150 degrees f. so I'm not sure it really matters much. I'm a creature of habit so I always buy what I know but I have more grease than 10 shops need......

If I had to pick only one? It would probably be Phil's. But, heck Motorex 2000 is really excellent and Park is pretty inexpensive and I love the nostalgia of Campy but Shimano Dura-Ace is so cool looking! Ah, choices, they are great!

You know one topic that I haven't seen discussed and maybe we should dive in to that? Anti-seize greases! I apologize ahead of time.....
