RIG+P For a well worn duty M4?  

Before or a big day or a range session, I try to apply a decent amount of oil to it, but it does tend to disappear quickly.  

I've heard RIG+P grease is good for many guns and wanted to get some opinions here.

South Florida 70-95 degree weather...

I'd stick with oil or tw-25b. my .02.

Grease in ARs is a no-no from everything i've seen. Yes, keeps it lubed but it also traps the dirt/carbon.

Yeah-but doesn't oil also?  Though today it was still lightly lubed from my last range session, 60 rounds 4 weeks ago...maybe you're right...

To an extent yes, which is why you shouldn't oil excessively. I would say that too much oil is comparable to having grease with regards to trapping excess dirt/carbon.
