I don't think lower friction grease is going to make much difference. If the grease is thick enough to hang on and stay around its going to increase bearing drag.
You're probably right. 20 years ago when I played around with R/C cars, I remember noticing that even a drop of thin oil in a ball bearing made a huge difference in how long it would spin. Drier spun much longer.
