Ideally, you'll want the grease specifically for the inner drivers from the dealer. Among other things, it has lead, moly, and several other unpleasant things specifically for the high point pressures in the companion flange. It's not your food-grade product, for sure. It's also thin enough to work itself into the needle bearings.
Other people use synthetic, high temperature wheel bearing grease.
When I have asked for inner driver grease from some SAAB aftermarket shops, they sold me outer CV grease.
In my car, I'm running a mix of the OEM grease and high temp synthetic wheel bearing grease. No problems so far. Anticipating a major failure is like waiting for the other shoe to drop.
