Does it work better after it has aged in my brakelines? Say, a vintage
1990 DOT 4?

Keeps your machine running smoothly and your coif looking snappy.

Also, it helps maintain the slippery emulsion in your chamois. High
speed, low drag!

Is the dry type with teflon better than regular oil?

That is like asking what is the best religion, political system,
economic system, etc. You will find vigorous proponents of various systems.

AFAIAC, the best chain lube would have these qualities:

-- Never needs to be reapplied.
-- Does not entrap dirt, grit, moisture, or other contaminants.
-- Does not wipe off or wear off.
-- Does not stink.
-- Makes chain last forever without making noise.
-- Has a trivially low cost.
-- Comes with the chain.

This product does not exist.

Everything else is a compromise.

Everyone has to choose their chain lube based on their own
preferences.

Perhaps, but there are people making really bad choices and paying a lot
for lubrication products that are either no better than the lower cost
products or that don't do a good job of lubricating the chain.

As several posters have pointed out, for a low-cost product that works
well, use DuPont Multi-Use Lubricant, which is also sold industrially as
DuPont Teflon Chain Saver. Some people have bought this at Lowe's.

Another excellent low cost product is the motorcycle chain lubes for
non-O ring chains, i.e. PJ1 Black Label Chain Lube which you can get at
a motorcycle parts store.

For soaking a chain in lubricant, chainsaw oil works well, as does plain
SAE30 oil (not multi-weight 10W30).

Clean your chain with kerosene or other non-water based solvent, and
lube it with oil or one of the penetrating spray on chain lubricants.

See "http://bicyclechain.info/" for information on cleaning and
lubricating bicycle chains when you don't want to waste money on exotic
lubricants and cleaning products.

Any of those work, though several duPont engineers have told me over
the years that they consider any use of Teflon in a fluid-based
lubricant to be a marketing ploy, not based on anything that duPont
knows about the substance. (This does not mean that those lubes are
worthless; the rest of what's in them could very well be excellent,
but just don't take the Teflon term's presence as meaning anything
important in either direction.) The main thing is to make sure the
chain has a lubricant applied, and that it's one suitable for the
usage. That's a really wide range to select from, and the bill is
filled by a lot of things.

rumored J-B epoxy is leftover scraped from tanks then reliquified.
Teflon? but tiny little teflon particles as lube devices?
same trick as a Moly disulfide?

Valvo synthetic trans oil is like Epic from Finish Line, decant into
Epic bottles.

please reuse kerosene and thinner cleaners. Pour into CHOH isopropyl
bottles, let sit in sun. Dirt congeals at bottom.

Just filter the used kerosene through a piece of filter paper (use a
coffee filter).
