It depends on your weight and riding conditions.

For typical use by adults or youths on f as irly level terrain, any grease will do.

However, if your heavier, or there are long and/or steep grades involved then you'll want a high temp grease.

FWIW when I first started in the b bike industry, I had occasion to talk to an engineer at one of the last companies still making coaster brakes in the USA. One of their design tests involved a 300#+ employee, and a long steep hill nearby. He'd drag the brake all the way down to heat the hub until it glowed.
