As far as an application I have always used the stamp pad method. I think Lyman and Hornady and maybe others sell a pad but I just bought a stamp pad minus inking of course from a stationery outlet.
I mildly lube inside the necks with an oily cotton bud. The pad is oiled up and I then roll say three cases at a time.

The lube I used which eventually ran out was Lyman's lube oil purchased in the 70's. Back then it was in a screw top tube and was brown. I purchased a couple of tubes at the time and it lasted well. I have since acquired more Lyman's this time it's in plastic bottles and clear. I have experienced no issues with the new lot during FLSing. You can usually "feel" how effective the lube is.

For any sort of harder work eg case forming work I use Imperial Sizing wax although I am sure the Lyman oil would be OK.

There are lots of ways I guess to lube cases but the stamp pad and quality oil has always worked fine for me.
A mate also uses the stamp pad method although I think his pad is a Lyman one and he lubes with pure Lanolin sourced from a chemist. He swears by that lube.

I have the Imperial Dry Neck Lube and shot balls setup but rarely use it. Maybe for the first load with new super clean brass but applied to the projectiles.
