Preferred grease to season a soapstone pot?

Hey Hounds - I just received a glorious soapstone dutch oven from my dh for Christmas. Never seasoned one before, and eyeing coconut oil, tallow, bacon grease and lard. Leaning toward the lard.

Here are the instructions: http://fantes.com/manuals/soapstone_n...

Anyone with experience? It looks pretty straightforward if you're accustomed to seasoning cast iron or carbon steel. TIA!

    Wound up using lard. Very happy with results.
