I am sure this has been asked before and I did a little searching. I have Rogue UCA's and was talking to a vendor at TRR about something completely different but we started talking about UCA's. I was told that these aftermarket uniball should not be lubed. I did purchase this lube from Tri-Flow months ago and have used it on a different set of UCA's:
Tri-Flow Heim & Uniball Lube
But since it's not dry, it can collect dust and bring that dirt down inside the uniball even though Camburg recommends this lube.
So I decided to look for a dry lube instead. I found Tri-Flow has this one but dries to a waxy film and since it's so thick, not sure how well its penetrates.
Tri-Flow Superior Dry Lubricant :: Dry Lubricants :: Tri-Flow®
Then these:
Finish Line - Bicycle Lubricants and Care Products - DRY Lube with Teflon® fluoropolymer

I've heard others just using WD-40 but everything I've been researching shows that's not a good idea and goes along with what the TRR vendor was saying. Of course having the uniball with a cover would be the most ideal but don't have that.
So is there anything out there that is better than what I already found that won't harm the uniball over time? Or is it really best to just leave them alone other than cleaning the top of them off and not use any type of lube?
On a side note, I hear squeaking when I turn and would like to eliminate it, if possible.
