If I could only choose one lube it would be Boeshield.

I use Boeshield around the house in light lube applications where one would typically try WD-40. I sprayed the mechanism on our breezeway jalousies two or three years ago and they went from being essentially stuck to operating effortlessly to this day.

Not sure about the transferrability of this test to bike chains, but it's easy to apply and can be used on everything on the bike (except where you want grease).

Some folks have used it for rustproofing the inside of steel bike frames
