I've had very good luck with the Mobil Delvac gear lube (the one the comes in the gallon container, NOT the quart- apparently they are two very different products).

I am coming to the conclusion though that the factory stuff just may be the best choice.

Yes, but you need to check, some only get it in bulk containers (drums), while others carry it in liters. Not sure who makes it for them (a lot of speculation, no proof), but as I mentioned, a couple of "majors" have told me it has unique specs that no one seems to match (too small a market).

How much does a 987S hold?

This does not look cheap to me:
