I think a lot depends on what climate you live in and what you are doing with the gun.

For instance, I think FP10 is pretty decent but my LCP rusted quick in my pocket in the summer even when being wiped down pretty regularly inside and out with fp10. Eezox is good at preventing rust but I've had it really gum up some guns that sat in the safe for a while after being wiped down with eezox.

Right now I'm using mostly mpro7 to clean carbon and slip 2000 ewl to lube them. I have also been playing around with fireclean and froglube just to try them out. So far they seem to work pretty well...especially the fireclean. I wouldn't say anything I've tried is perfect but what is? I have a tub with probably 15-20 different products that I've bought over the years and probably a few more that I've ran out of and didn't buy again. I put mobil 1 extended performance 5w30 in my car and that also works well on guns too.

A glock is going to be a pretty forgiving on what type of products you clean and lubricate with.
 
I have been using Hoppes #9 since I cleaned my first gun, and that was a long time ago. In some fashion or other, it has helped me clean everything from my old single shot 12 gauge to my cap and ball percussion. It has never failed me.
 
Second Ed's Red in a ultra sonic cleaner. I don't have Glocks so I don't know about them.
 
For general action cleaning I use plain ol' CRC non-chlorinated Brākleen. Its cheap and readily available. It hasnt hurt any of my polymers. But if you have any painted surfaces, forget about it.
I use Hoppes #9 for bore cleaning.
For lube I use breakfree CLP. It works good and i have gallons of it, so I havent tested many others. A little dab'll do ya!
