Lubricating Stainles Steel Firearms?

Are there any special lubricants and/or lubricating techniques which are best for stainless steel firearms?

The only lube I use is Tetra Gun lube, have not seen any wear problems with it in the last three years.

Thanks char923 and beemerb

Since I have some Tetra gun lube and some Lubriplate on hand that should take care of things nicely.
