I'm a big fan of Aeroshell greases --- but for all purpose I generally use a teflon microgel grease. The Finishline prdt is pretty darn good and can use with nearly any part of the bike. As for loose ball bearings, it's a bit sticky - so using like the Dura-Ace 'special grease' is better. Or Campy ballbearing grease. For carbon posts and stems, etc - the special 'friction grease' is really nice. It will allow you to torque the joint properly and reduce chance of slippage.
Lithium based greases will wash out easier and make repeated maintenance a little faster. While floro- gel greases will tend to coat and protect high stress areas quite well. And ball bearings will run better in a lighter suspension type grease. Probably the best 'do all' grease for common bikes these days would be either lithium or floro based.
