Err, those 3 are all the same things , so what did you mean?
A? Why? Surely you want the oil pumped around before you fire it up?

I use a regular 12 point. Others have had issues with regular 12 points and use the other sockets. They are much sharper and hold the head better. They are not the same thing but they are similar.
Assembly lube takes care of the first few seconds until the engine has oil running through it.
