Best caliper pin lube?

What is the best lube to use on the caliper pins?
I have heard moly disulfide type recommended but can't find it in the local auto stores.
There was lithium disulfide based,
Permatex "synthetic caliper lube" with no details,
Sil-Glide silicon base lube.
I have also heard Redline CV2 grease.

Any specific brand names for a good pin lube would help.

What I'm using mentions disc brakes and seems to stay put so I'll just keep using it.

Thanks Mike!

The best stuff I have ever used is Permatex Ultra Disc Brake Caliper Lube. I have tryed just about every type of lube and grease and the Permatex stuff is the only stuff that lasts through a complete set of pads before needed to be relubed.
