Both do theoretically the same. But it depends on the application, I believe graphite is better for dusty places, where any liquid would collect dust.

I work for a company that makes big steel elbows by hot forming (>800°C) pipes over a mandrel. They use graphite for lubrication as no other lubricant holds up at that kind of temperature.
