Lube used anywhere with brakes must be specifically identified as "Brake Caliper Grease".
Most anything else won't take the heat, will liquefy, and run down onto your rotors and pads (ruining them). Even moderate street driving can send temperatures up past the boiling point of water.
If you don't lube them, count on brakes either dragging or being slightly 'lazy' about being applied.
