Default Front CV Joint - Grease?

I am replacing the front hubs and doing a general tidy up at the same time.

I was wondering what is the best grease for the CV Joints?

Any help is appreciated.

Molly grease is suitable for CV joints, pretty sure you can't just use any type of grease.

What about his from Opie oils:

As above, moly grease seems favoured for CV joints
