I've used Break Free CLP as a cleaner and lube pretty much from the time I started getting into shooting over 15 years ago and never had any issues with it.
Having said that, I have tried other products. I liked Tetra Gun. I used the grease on slide rails and lockwork, oil on the rest of the gun. It worked well for me. Last year I started using Gun Butter oil on my Glock 23 before I sold it and it worked well for me. I use it to lube my revolvers now because the needle applicator makes it easier to get lube where I need it. I still use CLP for cleaning, though.
I really want to try Lubriplate, but I still have enough lube on hand to last a while so I just haven't felt the need to get some.
I haven't tried it, at least not yet, but I've read that ATF works pretty good as a gun lubricant.
I think as long as you use a good quality lube and don't over-do it you'll be fine with whatever you choose.
