Hey guys, I THOROUGHLY cleaned my TK41. Cleaned all the lube right off in the process. Looking for what to replace it with, I found the Comprehensive Grease and Lube Thread. So here I am, 3 hours later...Wow. So much info. A lot of (somewhat expensive) options exist, and testing them independently of each-other would be more costly and time consuming than I'm looking for. I'm sure any of the "very good lubes" would work well, but I want to know which one you prefer and why. Maybe some others here at CPF will find this data helpful or interesting too.
Ground Rules
Vote once for your favorite or most used lube. I know many people use multiples lubes and greases, different lubes for different lights, etc. Let's just stick with favorites here.
Post the following information if you desire:
Because we are limited to 10 choices, I'm only itemizing the "Very Good Lubes" but will allow some vague selections for others. In those instances you can freely specify in a post which one you prefer.
I'm not really looking for a lot of debating about why Palmers Cocoa Butter may or may not be a good lubricant or how many Teflon PPM exist in Extreme Fluoro. It seems like those discussions are most at home in the sticky thread mentioned above. I'm just trying to figure out what the favorite is (for each light or flashlight material if possible) Thanks in advance guys!

Post the following information if you desire:
- Why you prefer that lube (least gritty feel, least turning resistance, recommendation, etc.)
- What lights you use it on
- If you chose "Other", what lube you use (if any), why
- Any backup or honorable mention lubes that aren't your primary choice
