If you look on that torque setting sheet I referred to, Ryan, the recommended grease (unless otherwise stated) is molybdenum disulphide and the torque settings are calculated with that grease applied where appropriate.

I don't know what the comparative lubrication properties of copper and moly grease are but one of the benefits of moly grease is that, even when the gooey bit is washed away or squeezed or dried out, the molybdenum additive remains on the metal surfaces to provide lubrication, a bit like rubbing a pencil on a squeaky hinge.
