What is the best sort of grease to use on wheel nuts before putting them back in?

Just want to check as some of them were a right bugger to get off today and TBH I thought they were about to snap but want to make it as easy as possible to get them off in future.

Also, what sort of torque should they be set to - should it be about 90 to 100 Nm?

Thanks.
