Any dry lube stand head and shoulders above the rest? Drip or aerosol doesn't matter much. Right now I'm using
- DuPont Non-Stick Dry-Film Lubricant Drip Bottle
- 3-In-One Dry Lube Drip Oil Lubricant
- PB Blaster dry lube

I also use Boeshield T9 where a dry lube is needed with extra corrosion protection. Ideally I'd like something with the rust protection of T9 but a truly dry film like the others.
 
General purpose. Usually I like dry lube for non-metallic applications as well as for bicycle cables/housing. The Dupont stuff is excellent for that but I'd like better anti-corrosion properties as well.
I heard and have used this tip for bicycles cables. Modern cable housings are polyethylene or teflon lined. To make them any better just simply drag a new (stainless steel) cable across a paraffin block a couple of times before inserting it into a housing. It will stay really slick for a long time!
 
You should consider Hornady One Shot Gun Cleaner and Lube (*not* the more common Hornady Case Lube). It is not well known outside of the firearms community.

It is definitely dry and lubricating. Tests by random people on the internet seem to show that is also excellent at corrosion prevention.
