Default Which diff lube to run?

I thought about naming the thread "rear end lube" but figured I'd get no responses...

What rear-end lube would you guys suggest? I've got a cross-country drive coming up in two months, and I'm looking to swap over all my fluids before the trek begins. Car never sees any track time, stock rear-end, just some bolt-ons (see sig).

I see a lot of ads for Royal Purple. By the looks of it, seems like good stuff, but I like to get individual responses before I go believing what I see every sunday on "the powerblock"

Thanks!

I use Mobil 1 myself. But I recommend you read this:

There are other oils to consider as well, but not off the shelf.
