The Meistersatz non-food-grade grease with lead, etc. is the proper stuff for the inner joints. It's fluid enough to wet the needle bearings and protect the point-contacts where the roller meets the inner driver. In addition to the stuff I got from the dealer (which has lead, etc.) I've used synthetic high-temp wheel bearing grease in the inner joints, but I don't know how long the drivers and tripod joints will last using the high temp stuff because it can't get into the needle bearings all that well.
For the outers, any good synthetic moly grease that says it's for CV joints is good. What you got is probably fine. They're different than the tripod joints and require moly grease because there's sliding motion between the balls and the other parts of the joints.
