WD-40 too thin. You'd have to apply it every day, I think.
3-in-1 too sticky thick for chains.
Mind you, I defer to the actual experience (if any) of those who use these
lubes.
Triflow is a good choice, I think. If you want something lighter try a dry
lube with teflon (and remember to reapply often and after wet). Dry lubes
are thinner but don't attract as much dirt.
