Prefered Lube?

So ive got a new bike and i want to look after it, im using it for commuting and trail riding, my last bike was quite neglected in the latter years of its life.

ive read http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/workshop-how-to-clean-and-lube-your-bike-18259/ and it seems like a good guide?

However im confused as to what lube to use, dry/wet.. what do people o here use/reccomend?

IME wax based lubes are the best. Finish Line Ceramic Wax or Squirt are the ones I use - but I'm generally riding in very dry conditions

Thanks Fexlix, after a bit of searching ive seen a couple reccomend Squirt so think i may go for that.

Really weather dependant. I haven't found that dry stuff work well up here (Scotland).

Squirt is excellent.

I'm on my 2nd bottle of this - http://www.rocklube.com/gold.htm

Lasts for ages. Wax based. Works good for me.

When it's dry, Squirt

FTFY. Works great in the wet as well, just needs applying a bit more often.
