Super Lube is great and also look to use drag grease, either Shimano ACT2, or Cal's.  If you have high speed reels, drag grease is the way to go to provide a smooth drive gear functon.

Cals universal grease.

Cals and Shimano drag grease work great.  I have also used Ardent Reel Butter but have since moved on.  

The Abu Garcia grease is ? IMO. Doesn’t last long. I moved onto super lube because it’s what I use on elevators and have had good experiences with it and so far it works great. It doesn’t wear down as fast as the abu poo poo. Also using shims is drag grease and that stuff is awesome!

Yamalube marine grease sticks the best to gears in my experience.
