Default Wheel Bearing Grease

Wondering what type of grease you use for the wheel bearings?

I know it's a good idea to repack them every 12,000 miles or so, more often if you do rain riding. I typically do mine when new tires go on, as well as the axle, etc as long as the wheel is off anyway. I'm thinking high temp. grease may last a bit longer and not dry out as quick.

Any pros or cons?
