I use Molybdenum grease on the front suspension, and normal general purpose grease for the propshaft. Moly grease is supposed to be better for sliding applications, but to be honest I reckon frequency of application is more important than type.

For the needle rollers in the propshaft, it's important not to use a very high pressure grease gun, as you can damage the needles. A single-handed lever gun is enough.
