Any good general purpose grease will be fine, including automotive wheel bearing grease. I've been using Royal Purple Ultra Performance synthetic grease with good results, but it's not the only option.

Swepco 101 and 105 greases are also good for steering stem bearings and linkage bearings.

Awesome! Thanks man. Would this grease work for that stuff too?

I'm sure it would. I've never used that grease, but based on experience with other Maxima products I think it would work great.

I used Maxima Super M two-stroke oil, Chain Guard chain lube, and Clean Up chain cleaner. I've had good luck with all of them so far.

Sweet! Good to know. What is the clear petroleum jelly like goo that is on steering stems though?

I use a tub of belray waterproof grease for nearly everything on the bike.

Not sure. Rust inhibitor, maybe. There's also a food-grade grease called Super Lube that you may be describing. It's pretty thin and I wouldn't use it on steering stem bearings.
