Is it just mine or all edge rear wheel does not spin smooth?

When i try to spin the rear wheel when hanging on the rack it does not spin as long as my other wheels. I have an ent and an avian which spins very smoothly.

Don't worry about that, it's the ratchet with grease in it slowing it down when freewheeling. Could clean it and use better grease, marginal gains ;-)

Oh is it? I was thinking there is a significant drag. Anyway, any grease recommendations?

Use special grease from DT Swiss (that is what they call it) made for this application. Alternatively, any lightweight and non-tacky grease would work.
