For building wheels, I use boiled linseed oil. Plenty cheap and works for me.

I use gear oil (automotive differential lube)... mostly because I have a lot of it. But it has a strong odor some people find objectionable, and is messy. By the time I am done, everything is covered in it.

If you want the best, Wheelsmith Spoke Prep. Anti-seize lubricant, or shotgun choke tube anti-seize, or a dot of plain lithium grease work. Gun or machine oil works too, but is really messy and I don't recommend it.
