Default Rebuilding transmission...whats the best lube to use?

I stripped my main differential gear in my xl-5 stampede with a vxl. So now I will have an all steel transmission...what lube I should use. When I replaced my idler I used traxxas white silicone lube rather then the traxxas grease b/c it is thicker. Should I use this again or is there something better? Also, should I use the same type of lube in the internal of the main differential gear for the sun and planetary gears?

The best lube I've used is AE Stealth Black lube.
