Which grease meets your particular lubrication needs?

I am cleaning my 720 joystick, and when it calls for white lithium grease I have the following two greases:

I saw the one on the left recommended somewhere, and the one on the right was a cheapo grease I found at Frys. Any differences or recommendations?
 
I use Magnalube-G but only because it's awesome. It's a Teflon grease but it lasts forever. I use it for work on anything that has a high cycle rate (SMT and thru hole placement machines) In some cases that's millions of cycles per day and it holds up great. I use it on all my joystick rebuilds as well. It's never let me down.

I use the "Lube Gel" sold by radio shack. It is reccommended by www.marvin3m.com for EM pins, and it works great for joysticks and anything else that calls for a grease. Lithium grease attracts dust too fast and dries into a cake like substance after a long time. The stuff from radio shack doesn't attract dust, and doesn't dry out at all, and is waterproof.
 
Thanks. I should add that I am curious which is better between these two lubes (thanks Ken). I don't really want to go out and buy anything else.
