I was surprised nothing came up under the search but the search function for "recommended grease" brings up What did you wrench on today and other hits.

I use Lucas green lithium grease for most purposes, out of a small grease gun. It's slick and lasts a pretty long time.
I use Lucas sticky red grease for the particular surfaces in coaster brakes where heat can be an issue.
Both are available at hardware stores, Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.
