What is the best lubricant to use for areas of semiautos where the slide and frame rub each other?

Currently I use Hoppes #9 for cleaning the barrel, and Breakfree CLP for cleaning the outside finish of the gun.

Is something thicker needed for slide/frame rails and other areas where alot of friction is present? Like a gooey grease?
