Lubricant Types

Hi All.

I am going to install a couple of New Diverters on my J350.

To help them rotate a little easier/smoother, I plan to lubricate them with either a Teflon based, or a Silicon based lubricant.

I have read that Teflon is slicker but washes away a little easier, and that Silicon stays in place longer, but is harder to work with.

So.... my question is..... which type of lubricant would be best to use? Teflon or Silicon?

This questions would apply to lubricating swimming pool items as well.

Thanks
