Default BG or Redline?

BG SyncroShift, SyncroShift II (fully synthetic), or Redline MTL for the transmission? Why?

And for the x-fer case + rear diff, the regular Redline 75W/90, or the RL Shockproof, light or heavy (I live in MA/VT, so hot and cold weather throughout the year).<ul><li><a href="http://www.roadraceengineering.com/eclfluids.htm">Fluids</a></li></ul>

Don't forget Amsoil Series 2000 75w-90 Gear oil--it works like magic!

Default NEO Synthetic Gear Oil

I went from Redline to the NEO and find it provides smoother operation, easier shifts (especially cold) .. etc.
Very expensive but excellent lube ..<ul><li><a href="http://www.neosyntheticoil.com">http://www.neosyntheticoil.com</a</li></ul>

Default No

but I stayed in a Houston Holiday Inn once.
I got talked into trying the NEO by a local (North West OFFRoad Inc) off road go fast tuner. They swore by it and after checking with a couple of track/rally junkies here, I decided to give it a try.

Default For the tranny or diff/transfer? Or both?

Have you tried the BG before? I don't care about the extra $20 for the good stuff.
