I use a lithium grease.
I generally smear the grease on the ring gear using my finger (ooooerrr that sounds soooo wrong !), with enough to coat the tops and half the depth of the teeth. No need to put any on the pinion as it will ride through and spread the grease on the ring gear (which i know moreas the "Crown wheel" than ring gear) then put it all back in and away to have some fun.
