Any good grease that won't break down and flow out of the void. There isnt much space inside the cavity but there is definately a void between the brass sleeves that the spindle is seated in. The whole idea is just like a ball joint, keep the grease in place so moisture can't get to the surfaces and rust. When you disassemble be sure to keep any o-rings and spacers/washers so you can replace as needed.

+1 above, be gentle, it is a fragile and very precise part. the slightest tweak to the wiper arm assembly will have a wiper smacking the windshield or not staying on the surface.
