[munch, munch ... has the bug been squished yet?]

What kinds of grease are best for hubs, cranks, pedals and headsets?
I've been using Phil Wood's green grease for a few years and it seems
(to me) to break down fairly quick.  Is a thicker grease more appropriate?
How about ordinary car grease?  My Miche pedals came packed with a thicker
tan coloured grease (origin unknown) ... maybe this is the 'right stuff'?
This is for a non racing bike, with desired regreasing about every 1000
to 3000 km (if this sounds like a reasonable interval).

[No doubt this has been discussed in the past, but I missed it back then]
