Grease preference for ball joints?

Good morning everyone.

First oil change is coming up after the new aftermarket UCAs. I was wondering what everyone had as a preference for grease in regards to the ball joints. I've been shopping around and see so many great options I would love to have some clarity.

I have narrowed down my shopping options to one of the following and would like to know what you're using, or if you have experience with any of the following, I would love to hear:

1. Synergy Manufacturing 4119 Heavy Duty Ball Joint And Chassis Grease

2. Red Line 80402 Synthetic Grease

3. Royal Purple 01312 NLGI No. 2 High Performance Multi-Purpose Synthetic Ultra Performance Grease

4. Valvoline SynPower Synthetic Automotive Grease

5. Super Lube 71150 High Temperature E.P. Grease

6. Prolong Super Lubricants PSL45000 EP-2 Grease

Any help would be fantastic.

I did a bunch of reading a few years back and ended up going with Valvoline Synpower Synthetic. I use it every oil change on my UCA's and drive shaft, works great.
 
I've been using RedLine CV2 grease in my vehicles for 15+ years with no failed components. Tie rod ends, U-joints, swaybar endlinks, ball joints, etc. It has moly in it, and some say moly greases should not be used in U-joints, but this has not been my experience.
 
I use red lithium grease in all the ujoints and black moly grease in all 4 ball joints and the driveshaft yokes.
Those two types are what Toyota states to use, so I stick to that.

I don't think brand matters too much, just what the grease is made of.
