Better for what?
In general, WD-40 is *not* a great lubricant. It's a pretty good
cleaner, a decent rust inhibitor - if renewed regularly - and not bad
for stopping squeaks in hinges, etc. but as a lubricant it ranks
pretty low on the totem pole.
I'd argue that there isn't really one perfect lubricant for all
applications. What is it that you are planning to lubriacte?
