Definitely thin lube. Thick lube will make it more responsive.

Lube makes your yoyo MORE responsive, any type of lube.  
clean your bearings with mineral spirits. No lube will yeild the longest spin times. A half of a drop of thin lube will protect the bearing from rusting.

3-4 drops will make it incredibly loud and responsive.

Thin lube.

Some people like to put in a needle=point of it, some like 3 or 4 drops. I just put in 1 or 2 myself.
