VPI HW-19 or VPI Traveler


I am looking at either an HW-19 w/ Rega RB300 tone arm or a new VPI Traveler. Both are 1K and the HW-19 is in new condition. What is the better turntable?

Lithium grease has been used on the inverted bearing,  I don't recall seeing it recommended for the non-inverted bearing.  

Mobil 1 is fine.  I have also used the synthetic variety of Slick 50.

Upon the recommendation of the tech who repaired my TNT bearing I now use a much thicker oil.
You made the right choice. I use a few drops of Castrol HD 40 weight oil to lube the bearing.
Enjoy your new table!
Thanks everyone. I'll touch base about how to oil once I get the table. 

Can anyone suggest a cartridge alignment tool for this table/ tonearm combo?
