I like Mystik JT6 grease for wheel bearings.
The way EZ-Lube axles work is, the ZERK leads to a passage that comes out between the inner bearing and the seal.
To properly lube the bearings, you pump grease in while turning the wheel occasionally. What is supposed to happen is the grease pushes through the inner bearing, fills the cavity between the bearings, and pushes through the outer bearing. Continue pumping grease in until the old dirty grease is gone and new fresh grease stops coming out.
It takes a TON of grease, the better part of a tube per hub. Even when it works right, it makes a HUGE mess, a whole tube worth of dirty nasty grease per hub. It's also a huge waste of grease, as you would not pack the hub solid with grease normally.
That's if the seal does not fail and let you fill your brake drum with grease.
In reality it does not take any longer to pull the hubs and repack the bearings. This is just a cop-out for people who are afraid of the task.
