no matter how many times it is suggested I will not use anything sold at Walgreens.I have a prediction that this is going to get answers other than what OP desires.

Choke and supressor threads get anti sieze in our house.My short answer is, I use Hoppe's gun oil and Lucas oil's red grease.
Now for the long answer. Just remember grease can collect grit from dust, dirt, burnt powder etc. So the general consensus is make it a habit after a day of shooting to break the gun down, wipe off the old grease and oil and reapply. You don't have to a full on cleaning of the gun every time though. I know guys that shoot competitively with Kand P guns that only do a full on cleaning once or twice a year. But they all apply fresh oil & grease every time they put the gun together to shoot.
A good side note would be if the gun has interchangeable choke tubes, keep the threads lightly lubed and keep the choke snug.
To each their own. I see nothing at all wrong with that. But, I think it also depends how often it's shot, how often it's checked to make sure it's snug and the weather conditions it's subjected to.Choke and supressor threads get anti sieze in our house.
Grease is a left over tube of amzoil synthetic.
Not on a fine O/U. Those are reserved for guns of a more tacti-cool appearance. You know the ones that those window licking lib's hate and have fictitious views ofI'm a little shocked that "Tears of liberals" was not mentioned yet.

In my opinion, the old saying that if it rotates it gets oil, and if it slides it get grease. Doesn't really apply here. Break action shotguns have a hinge point. It either has trunions or a hinge pin. The action rotates on them and they should be greased not oiled.
I, like Dean C., Probably apply more grease than is needed and just wipe away the excess.
Oh, I tried Outer gun grease and didn't care for it at all. It was very runny and got on everything because it oozed out of the action and constantly had to be wiped away.

This is good stuff. I second this.
