Boeshield T-9 for my chains and cables for the last many years with good success. The chains just seem to stay clean longer with no gunk build up, and its simple to clean and apply. Can't see how you can go too wrong with it no matter the season. It's one weakness is maybe longevity during the wettest and muckiest of conditions, but there's nothing I've seen or experienced that actually works better in those conditions anyway.
For all my suspension stuff I have really loved using WPL oils and grease. Its a pleasure to work with and isn't harmful to your skin or the environment, which means no harmful crap when cleaning and disposing of it. The grease works awesome on suspension seals and the oils have been perfect for lowers and damper services. The forkboost lube does exactly what it says, and is great on dropper post stanchions too, and mixes well with the grease. I like to add a drop to the grease I'm putting on the suspension seals. I also use the grease on threads and low rotation bearings like headsets with really good success. That stuff stays put and gives really slick lubrication despite how thick it feels in hand.
The Kluber Isoflex LDS 18 Special A grease that Onyx uses for their clutch assembly works awesome in bearings as well. Really expensive to purchase, but a little goes a long ways and damn it seems to last forever and resists contamination very well.
