What’s everyone using for their driveshafts? At 24,000 miles on my 2024 4Runner so I’m right at the time to grease the zerks.

Looked at Red n Tacky, Mobil 1, and a few others on the shelf. Completely unknown to me which has (if any) better qualities than the other.

Those mentioned will work fine. I would do it more often than every 24k with whatever you decide on.
Something is better than nothing. More often is better than not often enough.

That’s my plan going forward. I have seen a lot of “every other oil change”. I change at around 4,500-5,000 miles so about every 10K moving forward for the zerks.
 
Lithium complex grease without moly is what most manufacturers want in their grease-able u-joints. High moly greases can cause the needle bearings not to roll properly. On the other hand, constant velocity joints and splined yoke shafts love moly grease.

That said, I would use whatever brand of grease I had at hand . 99% of what matters most is that there is fresh grease of the appropriate type in the joint.
 
I try to use Redline CV2 as much as I can. I've not found a "better" general purpose grease that can be used in almost any applications including CV joints.
