Depends a little on the particular type of riding... I've tried a bunch, and settled on ProLink as my favorite for general conditions. It seems to persist fairly well w/o having to re-apply every couple rides, and it doesn't attract too much grit/gunk. For my winter bikes, though, I'll still use something heavier/stickier like Finish Line Cross Country so it doesn't wash off as quickly in the rain (or even Phil's Tenacious Oil if it's really pissing).
