Assembly lube takes care of the first few seconds until the engine has oil running through it.

I still don't follow you, 12 point is bi-hex which is shorthand for bi-hexagonal. As I said they are all the same. Are you actually thinking of different make sockets? Some definitely fit & last better than others!
(as Phonsalb mentioned). What do you mean by 'other sockets'?

Re lip, I don't follow, where do you mean this lip is?
I'm familiar with sockets that won't go fully onto nuts where there is an internal lip which butts up against the stud (as I think the 1 pictured above would), but I'm guessing that's not what you mean?
