keep the factory grease or degrease
Both :)
As everybody else has already said, it's not worth trying anything elaborate unless you're chasing a couple of Watts for racing. For everything else, just wipe the excess packing grease off the outer surfaces with a solvent soaked rag so that it doesn't go out into the world asking for every piece of dust and grit to stick to it.
