If you use the Lithoplex make sure it's the NLGI 2 version, it comes as both 0, 1, and 2 and you definitely want 2 for this application.
Personally I use Valvoline VV986 inside the bearing or anything else requiring moly grease.
However for the axle click issue which is just the SPLINES OF THE AXLE where they go through the hub I use Loctite C5-A copper anti-seize. The easiest method is the unbolt the axle from the differential to pull it completely out, then you can really get it lubed up well (don't go crazy, a little copper anti-seize goes a VERY long way). A lot of folks opt to just remove the castle nut and push/pry the axle back and forth and apply the grease from both the inboard and outboard edge and it seems to work ok as well.
