Hub grease recommendation?

I repacked my commuter front hub about a month ago and already the grease I used is thinning and getting pushed out of the hub and the new bearings are feeling 'gritty' already Sad

I'm about to put in a CRC order and was wondering if any of you can recommend a good grease for Shimano Hubs?

Thanks
Phil

This is the stuff I would buy, actually I bought it andI'm just waiting for it ti arrive. Great reviews and it is the stuff used in Enduro Bearings.

About 10 - 12 bucks and enough to repack a zillion hubs.
