Default type of grease for u joints?

Just got new u joints delivered but I'm in town now. Was wondering if there's a specific type I need. I have some of the red lucas grease, will that work? Figure its best to ask now before I get home and find out I have to run back into town.

That's what I think, but apparently there are different types and it could ruin the u joint

Lucas Red & Sticky is what I use on the Blazer. It is good stuff.
