which grease???
Had a similar dilemna myself. Having googled some I understand that copper slip should only be used as an anti-seize and not a lubricant, in fact it os slightly abrasive. This was borne out by advice from MB who advised he hadn't used copper grease in 25 yrs. EP2 seems a good all rounder. I understand high melting point grease is fine where high temps are likely to be reached, otherwise the oil will not be relesaed to do its job. On the other hand a non-high melting point grease will melt away in areas likely to reach high temps ad not return to the grease.

just don't use nickel grease if you want the item to stay done up (ie rear hub nut!)
I put some Nevr-seez nickel grease on a vep rear hub nut once: never again: fantastically slippy stuff!
great for throttle tubes etc, but it will not seize up! lol
Should've guessed really!
I use LM30 on pretty much everything needing greasing, occasionally a good quality copper grease on exposed stuff.
