Almost every time I have lubed up my chain without cleaning it first, it broke on the first steep uphill.
Something about the oil helping dirt get into places it shouldnt be.
So my advice it to ALWAYS clean the chain before lubing it up!
Let the lube soak for a couple of minutes, then wipe off the excess with a rag.
As far as which lube? Any is better than none.
