Silicon grease

Connectors and boots.  Switch contacts, maybe.  Contacts should really 
just be cleaned carefully and left un-gooed.

Nope, that spray works just fine.

Graphite is nice, in that it doesn't goop them up.  The bigger 
mechanical bits (latches, etc), I used to use a lithium spray lube, 
switched to a Wurth product, HHS 2000 I think.  Sprays on light, then 
gets thick and sticky so it stays in place.  I think as long as you use 
*something* every few years, you'll be ok, though.
