I don't run it dry, I just fail to see how one lube can make a difference from another in terms of noise.
Ceramic lube especially annoys me, much like the 'dry' lubes, it's marketing bs. Great, they keep your chain looking cleaner, but testing by both Zinn, Calvin, and the pro tour teams have shown that if anything, it increases wear on the chain and sprockets, and any shifting advantage is too marginal to say one way or the other.
In short; I'm sticking to Finishline Wet on the MTB and Fixed, Progold on the Roadies. Both of these lubes have stood the test of time, and don't rely on crazy marketing to sell themselves.
