I am amazed at the strong opinions on this.
I do the wax dip on my commuter because the chain stays cleaner. I'll probably do the same on my road bike when it's time for a new chain because I like clean.
I've used all kinds of lube on my chains over the decades - can't really tell a difference as far as longevity of the chain for my riding. I replace chains every few years, so it's not a big hardship either way.
