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:

About Silkolene PRO RG2 Racing Grease

PRO RG2 has outstanding water repellence, excellent corrosion inhibition properties and high resistance to water wash-off, making it an ideal choice for rally and watercraft use.

It is ideal for bearing and chassis lubrication and conditions of water impact. PRO RG2 is designed to meet the stringent requirements of competition use, including off-road, and stays in place, even under high temperatures created in competition use. This high cling formula is ideal for protecting wheel bearings, universal joints, suspension linkages and seals under the most testing conditions.

Use for wheel bearing, rose joint, marine applications and all general automotive greasing.

As above, moly grease seems favoured for CV joints
