I have used this for a few years now, it's very good. Copper slip is a bit thick for my liking.

FWIW..for cars with electronic systems in and around the wheels BMW forbids copper based greases..the conductive material MAY get into pins and connectors..

When you've seen some of the things I saw when I was mechanicing.............................How much do BMW expect you to put on
Saw someone once spraying his brakes with WD40 to get rid of a squeak.
I've also been using this - no complaints, works well.

I use red rubber grease on the Caliper sliding pins, it doesn't harm the rubbers. For all the sliding contact points on the pads I use copper ease grease to keep the sliding edges on the Calipers slightly lubed. Backs of the pads also get a smear on the backing shim and in particular where the piston contacts the pad, supposedly stops any chance of brake squeal.
