I've used NAPA SylGlide and CRC Brake Grease on the sliding pins. Be sure to clean out all the old dry grease inside the opening.

I also have some Super Lube light synthetic grease (M1/M14 grease for you gun guys) that should work well also.

When pads get thin they have a tendency for the material to separate from the metal.

Best to try to keep an eye on the pad thickness, but notice that the inside pad (active side - against the pistons) will wear faster than the outside pad (on the non-active part of the caliper) on a simple single-sided caliper.
