New front rotors

So I finally got around to taking my front wheels off today ... with the intent of putting new calipers on. I was greeted with absolutely zero braking surface on the old pads and about a 1/8" deep gouge down the center of the rotors from the old pad's backing plates. So new rotors it is.

EVERYONE I talked to down at autozone said that bearing grease is bearing grease is bearing grease and that the Coastal All-purpose is all I needed to pack my inboard and outboard bearings on my new rotors. One of the old fellas even opened up the package and showed me how to pack the bearing with it. Everything seemed A-OK. When I got home and read the package it states that it is good for everything BUT disc brake wheel bearings.

So - IS any old bearing grease OK, despite the packaging? Or do I need some SPECIAL bearing grease for these rotors? Help.
