For the most part a graphite lube works the best, dry, doesn't attract dirt/crap and lasts a long time. You can buy it in a spray on form that evaporates and leaves the lube behind. Also some of the dry lubes that contain teflon work pretty well but they seem to fade pretty fast.
Most of the factory lubes are either silicone based greases or lithium based white lubes. But they do collect crap.
