An all purpose lube for sex and body massage needs is the best option, this means you only need buy one product and silicone lube is the best for this. You only need use a very small amount and this actually goes a very long way, it is also good for preventing friction and is a non-irritant product.
Any lube containing a variety of other ingredients should be avoided, and this means the "all natural" oil based lubes too. Some may have had sugars, flavors and scent as well as glycerin added to the mix and non of these ingredients are good in the case of a lube. Even thought the vagina is self, lubricating, the anus is not, so silicone lube prevents tears and irritation and can be used with condoms.
Some lubes contain the highly corrosive Nonoxynol-9 this is a strong spermicide, its use is dangerous with condoms as it corrodes the latex they are manufactured with and this in turn makes the risk of contracting HIV higher. It also tastes like crap and can make the lips and tongue numb in the case of oral sex.
Silcone Lube Last
As you only use very little silicone lube, it lasts a long time and stays slippery. This makes it perfect for vaginal and other massage. It will stain fabrics however, so take care when using it is you are clothed.
You will find that the most high quality lubes are silicone or water based, anything with oil, glycerin, added sugars of flavors can cause irritation and have even been known to promote bladder and yeast infections if the user is prone to these.
If you are going to use silicone lube on silicone sex toys, take care to slip a condom over the toy first. This is a good idea anyway as hygiene should always be first and foremost in your thoughts. It is quick to slip on and makes clean ups so much more simple. Silicone lube can then safely be used and any bacterial or other contamination is avoided, your sex toys will last longer.
