If you use a cleaning lube, you won't have to use a degreaser until you really want to detail your drivetrain. There are some slightly more gentle (safer for the components and frame and paint) degreasers that you can spray on and wipe off (look for ones you don't have to rinse). The only time I've needed this was after a really really disgusting ride on muddy and gravelly backroads after serious rain. This was after a good bath with the hose didn't work well enough. 99% of the time, a cleaning lube like RnR will help shed the gunk while it relubes.

Some dry lubes do not work well in wet conditions. You'd need a wetter or waxier one. RnR gold does ok in the wet, but they make a blue one for really sloppy stuff as well as a red one that is the driest. The silicon stuff in it isn't as waxy as, say, White Lightning, so you won't get as much buildup on the chain. But the thinner and drier the lube, the more often you'll need to re-lube.
