Generally recommended is copper grease, has a very high melting point so it doesn't spread all over the place and contaminate the friction surfaces.

Check that the handbrake cable on that side hasn't been kinked (by not disconnecting it BEFORE swinging the caliper up to change the pads).
2012 Subaru Forester - capable but no magic carpet
2011 Grand C4 Picasso VTR+ 1.6HDi - not missed!
1995 Xantia Estate SX 1.9TD in Vert Vega "The Green Lady" - sadly missed
1998 Xantia 2.1 VXD Estate in Mauritius Blue - R.I.P. (terminal tin-worm)
