Hate to mess with lubing patches at the range so my patches are pre-lubed. Stinky smelling lube and animal grease are out. i use store bought patches as well as square patches made from unwashed drill cloth. All kinds of stuff makes good patch lube. Among the stuff I have tried are:
1. GoJo hand cleaner: Excellent patch lube. It's a good bore cleaner too.
2. Goop: Excellent patch lube. Easier to apply than GoJo.
3. Sperm whale oil: Excellent but the stuff stinks and is no longer available.
4. Frontier's solid patch lube: Excellent .
5. Outers Leather R Seal: Excellent.
Much of my patched round ball shooting is with a .54 caliber TC Fire Hawk. Recently drug out my CVA Stag Horn (1/32" twist). It shoots patched round balls like a laser.
IMO: Consistency in loading is more important than the type of patch lube used.
