lithium vs. moly grease, u joints, BMW R100GS

 I've seen conflicting opinions on the appropriate U joint
grease for shaftys. Currently I'm using Mobil1 synthetic,
which I gather is a lithium based NLGI (?) rating 2 grease.

Recently I noticed one rebuilder reccomending moly based.

Anybody have any opinions on this ?

Not really an opinion on the subject, but a true statement of little value.

The best grease to use is one that meets better than the minimum specs
of the bearing and is the most readily available.

Actually graphite grease has the best friction resistance.

My own totally unscientific take on this, is I am starting to
favor a high quality grease with some Moly added.  I used to believe
in the Honda Moly 60% Paste but if it's too dry it doesn't seem
to work as well as a grease which tends to flow a little better.
