I'm not a big fan of the magical goo's but that's just my opinion.  If you've got a quality synthetic gear oil in there than the Lucas shouldn't offer any benefit.

This is quite true...

I mean its not a bad noise, and I think release bearings will always make a bit of noise...

How do you know if its possibly the clutch? (though I did replace it)

Is it just a light scratching noise or similar?  Sorta rhythmic?

I had a '96 Ford Ranger with the Mazda M50D 5 speed stick and after having the clutch replaced at 150k it started to do that.  Went away when I pushed the clutch in.  I owned it for another 17,000 miles and it never changed or got worse.

Its totally rhythmic, but seeing how the rebuild kit I saw for the clutch comes with both a bearing for both the input (release) bearing & throwout, I guess its something I'll have to do...

I'll put some lucas in the interm to see if ti helps quiet things up a little (If I can get my damned filler cap off)

The release bearing and the throw out bearing are the same thing - just two different names.
