Okay, so of these two, which would be the better grease to try?

I'm leaning toward the black tube myself.
Oh, and I got the old bushing out without too much trouble. I
flattened a washer on two sides to get it in and behind the old nylon
bushing, then took my long socket extension with an appropriate sized
socket and gently hammered it out of the tube from the opposite end.
I even got Sam to help by holding the rack tube.
The brass bushing then slid right in and I had to gently hammer it in
place the last quarter inch or so. Drilled the holed, installed the
set screw with some lock-tite and we are ready for the lube.
