Just a personal opinion but I think it makes the most sense to use an assembly lube that's specifically designed for that purpose rather than some other material. Not that whatever is chosen may not perform OK, it just isn't worth saving a couple of dollars after all the expense of a rebuild. On oil pumps, I don't pack them with grease, I just flood the empty cavities with GL-1 gear oil or SAE50 motor oil.

Back to the original question, HH56, you might consider StaLube SL3303 or equivalent for those areas you were asking about, it's a graphite and Teflon-fortified moly grease and I've used it a lot on metal-to-metal contacts like mechanical brake cables, brake cams and shoe tips, etc. and even years later it still seems to retain it's original characteristics.
