As I said before, it's *REALLY* not that critical to find the absolute best lube for your gears.
Seriously.
Superlube would be fine.
You're not greasing UU/UP tolerance bearings, or high pressure herring-bone gears.
The wear is REALLY not substantial after 300,000 rounds. You're far more likely to have a gear fail due to a manufacturing problem or a piston jam.
And if you have one of those gearsets made of soft havarti, then premalube is absolutely not going to prevent wear; because at that point it's more forced deformation than is it wear by friction.
The grease has more use in reducing sound and keeping dust out of the compression parts than it does reducing wear.
That being said, a tacky gear grease (like chain grease) is going to be better than a sliding grease (like superlube) for the above reasons.
Tacky, not thick. Thick is bad. NLGI 1 or 2.
