Default Bearing Lube

What do you use?

I know bearing can be bought really cheap now, and replacing is easy, and I have plenty of spares, but I do like to give mine a clean, blow out the crud and give them a fresh lube.

Back in the day (20+ years ago) I used to use various RC specific lubes that went on as oil, which dried to leave a grease. There was also canned non-RC stuff that I used.

I've bought replacement bearings that appear to have a silicone type grease in them, when you remove the rubber seal, and others that look to be lubed with an oil.

I'd like to find out what others use or recommend?
3-in-1 oil, some kind of grease, some specific oil or grease, silicone, etc?
