I have used different types of grease over the years. During my most recent axle rebuild I used a generic "wheel bearing grease". I usually lather some grease on the spindle, pack the bearings, and slop a bunch into the hub. I wouldn't sweat it if you get some grease on the threads of the spindle. It wont hurt anything. If you intend to service the ball joints, then go ahead and pull the knuckles, axle shafts, and carrier so you can replace the inner axle seals. If your ball joints are okay, and its not leaking any oil from the axle tubes, then I say leave it and put it back together.
