What lube where ?

Getting some new wheels today and it got me thinking I need some grease on the free hub body before attaching the cassette (shop always puts some type on when they do it for me) and wondered what type goes where ?
I've got some Dura Ace grease I've had for a few years that I put on headset and seatpost bolts and pedals before attaching then and obviously know where chain oil goes but there are so many products I wondered if anyone had some tips and or recommendations.

Cheers

Doesn't really matter what type of grease as its a 'static' application - just apply a thin smear - too much will just attract dirt. If you wanted to do it properly apply an anti-seize like CoppaSlip - I have a dry stick dispenser type from Loctite that you just rub on

No point in greasing the outside of the freehub body (if that's what you were thinking of) before putting on the spacers/sprockets. But you might want to grease the lockring.

I use three types of lube:

1/ Tenacious wet lube for chain.
2/ Grease for bearings, like hubs. This I keep in a grease gun.
3/ Assembly grease. This is the same grease as above but with some anti-sieze compound sprayed onto it. I use Loctite sprayable anti-seize.
