Default Spray lube question

I'm sure, this has been discussed to death. And, I'll start a flame war.
Various people quoting authorities back to Aristotle, and Confuscious.

Which spray lubes do what? I was helping do a brake job, Saturday. The lugs
didn't want to come off. The drums rotted to the hub, the rotors rotted to
the hub. Bolts that were supposed to hold a bracket over the rotor, rusted.

The folks who own the car were using WD as a lubricant. Try to free drums
from hub, and free bolts to come out. Wasn't doing much that I could tell.
I've tried Deep Lube, PB Blaster, Kroil, and Castle Thrust. Of those, I
recently had a really good result with Castle Thrust (Ion activated!).

I'm in New York State, so we have plenty of rock salt on the roads, and rust
is a major issue. What's likely to penetrate and loosen rusted drums, hubs,
rotors, lug nuts, bolts, etc?
