OEM recommended fluids. Always have, probably always will.

I end up having to change all my fluids after every 1-2 trail rides as it's all nasty swamp water down here in FL. So, I just use the cheap stuff.

All 5 XJ's get Shell Rotella T 10w-30
Valvoline high mileage dex 3 equivalent in the tranny/T-case
Lucas gear lube in the diffs, viscosity depends on what you are doing with it.
I use Lucas "red n tackey" grease in everything except poly bushings

I use Lucas in both diffs and the t-case. I am running Powertrax lockers front and rear and have not had a problem with them in combination with the Lucas. I installed a SYE last winter and put Lucas in the t-case and have had no problems with it either.

Amsoil 10w30 full syn in the engine, Amsoil full syn ATF in the trans and transfer case, Amsoil full syn Severe Gear 75w110 in the diffs.
All Amsoil products everywhere else too, brake fluid, power steering, coolant, etc.

No... No Dex VI. It's a competely different spec than what you need.
Dex 3 or the equivelent is what belongs in your tranny and T-case.
For the tranny 4.2 quarts for a service change or 8.5 if a rebuild.
For the T-case... NP231 2.1 pints, NP 242 3.0 pints.
