Lithium grease. Google it. You'll see it's used everywhere. Great stuff. Not the cheapest option. I often use copper grease as I already have some in the garage I bought to go behind the brake calipers, but it won't work as well as lithium. Used on cycles too. Or if you're feeling really cheap and lazy, 90w gear oil is awesome for lightweight stuff. I used it on my levers. It won't stay around for as long as lithium grease though.

Basically, as I said at the beginning, lithium grease is the way to go, you can get it everywhere.

I would use marine grade wheel bearing grease. It'd work fine for what your doing(as well as bearings, steering stem, pivot points, kickstand, centerstand, etc).

They also make a grease specifically for brake calibers/sliders/pistons/seals, etc (Permatex) which is compatable with brake fluid which would work however its a bit more expensive.
