NC Iowa

None of those.  You want the most harmful, nastiest stuff available.  It has to be oil based.  If it says it can be cleaned up with water and soap its not worth applying.  My house was done originally with diamond vogel, most of it lasted over 20 years and looked great, when reapplied it just richened the color a bit, the back side that doesn't see sun l just recoated after 38 years.

We recoated my FIL's 100+ year old barn 6 years ago.  Most of it we didn't do a thing, it hadn't been done for 20-30+ years and was getting pretty faded, but the wood was nice and dry and sucked it right in.  Still looks perfect today.  He bought his from fleet farm or tractor supply.  It was just labeled "red barn stain", comes in 5 gallon metal buckets.
