The Ford Barn

I’m doing the brakes on a 1950 f1 and the Ford manual says to use Lubriplate on all metal to metal contact points. I am wondering if there isn’t a modern lubricant that’s even better. For instance during my online search one Fordbarner mentioned Permatex silicone ceramic brake lubricant. Please weigh in.
As a separate question, I am going to grease all the zerts while I have the engine removed and the bed off. I currently have “marine” grease in my gun to refill my boat trailer wheel bearings. Is this ok to use or what would be better? Thanks for sharing your experience.
