It really depends on how and when you ride, I personally like White Lightning Epic Ride as an all rounder, as I don't have to go with a specific lube for winter and summer, however previously when the seasons were a bit more predictable I used to like the Shimano dry (for summer) and wet (for rainy/winter conditions) lubes.

Squirt lube works fine for me. You need to degrease the chain before applying.

haven't tried many different ones to test differences though

^^ use same as above comes in black bottle green cap and writing. I'm using the all weather one at the moment, all this sun rain sun rain rain rain moments we are having.. Also use Teflon spray onto paint brush and coat chain and cogs. Last ride did at Hadleigh chain was sucked bone dry by the ride :-) well it was hot and dusty....

Swear by Finish Line Teflon.... Never had a dry chain with it, and is 95% weather proof - Unless you're riding in thick mud and 2 ft deep puddles :)
