I've worked on my guns for a couple years now, and when it came to grease I've used graphite on the gears and lithium on cylinder/piston.

I was wondering if there was a better combination out there as the lithium will seemingly 'dry up' over time.

anybody used these greases before?

i'm not even sure what type of grease they are

White Lithium or Teflon on friction elements (gears, piston slide, etc.), and 100% silicon oil on airseal and oring parts(airnozzle, piston head, etc.)

Another possibility would be a molybdenum-based grease. Moly is extremely slick and is not nearly as thick as white lithium grease. I concur with the silicon oil/spray, though.

I'm sure there are better prices available, but here's an example of moly grease. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGS04

I am using CA grease, one is gear grease, another cylinder grease.
I seem to have no problem with them so far, and they work very well, except gear grease tends to splatter inside the gearbox.

i used the white lithium the last time i worked on one.  used it on the inside of the air chamber, in a VERY light coating just at one end.
