The contact cement took about a quarter of the time to re-assemble in preference to the grease
Also the grease can affect (soften) the barrels over time so they become ineffective

My comment is moot for this particular project since contact cement apparently saves time, BUT in general for plastics and rubbery parts, I generally use silicone grease vs. petroleum based greases) for less chance of material incompatibilities/reactions.
