I’m about to service my Shimano hubs. Any specific grease recommendations over the tub of whatever it is in my shed for doing the bearings?

I just use Finnish Line bike grease.Has teflon in it too , although I do not know if this makes a difference at all Is thick enough without being overly thick and seems to last fine

Just about anything will work, it's all marginal gains.

I use rock'n'roll super web, does exactly what it says on the tin and forms a web when stretched which means it stays attached and doesn't migrate out of the bearing.

Any Automotive grease will do the job and will have a much higher specification than is actually necessary.

I use whatever I have in the Garage at the time - usually LM type grease.

Like this one.

I use Rockoil marine grease (MPG) on everything.

I used to use Catrol Cl grease and it was a marine grease - stood up much better to the elements than any of the recommended bike greases around at the time. Go for a marine grease...
