+1. Living in the same area, and lithium grease has always worked great.

On new cars, what I also do is remove the brake discs at all 4 wheels to lube the hub to prevent the disc to rust against the hub. This makes future disc brake replacement a breeze.

The best thing to use on the hubs to prevent them from seizing to the wheels is a healthy dose of spray lithium grease every time the wheels are taken off. The lithium will break down the rust that is on there, and help prevent the rust from forming.
