I usually use Phil, if there is any roughness, I use axle, this goes for all bearings.
My first cup and cone experience was in high school, new Mizutani Super Seraph came with a beautiful "Mighty" Sugino Mighty Competiton crank.
Dumb azz me let the BB get washed out of the pathetic amount factory grease and nominally compromised the spindle and cups, replaced the bearings, set it up with thick axle grease and overhauled it every month for about six months, slowly increasing the tension each time.
It smoothed out quite a bit and lived on for another 25 years when it was stolen with the Raleigh Super Course it was on.
