I always use a high temp lithium based grease. But you can get little tubes of "brake" grease. Definitely do not use copper grease.

If you are not regular with brake maintenance silicone grease will deffo the better to use. When I use lithium grease I do give the rubbers a good smearing with red rubber grease to protect them.
