Favorite Semi-Transparent Stain?

Hey all, I'm working on a bid for next season on a house near a saltwater bay. It's cedar shake siding with extensive wood decks. It's currently stained with a transparent, and it's been quite a while since it's been coated. I'm going to do a sodium hydroxide wash, then oxalic acid, then stain with semi-transparent. Does anyone have a favorite product they would like to recommend? I've used Deckscapes Alkyd, and I loved the application properties, but I haven't really seen how well it weathers yet. I really like the way the WB Arborcoat weathers, but I don't want a two-coat product on the deck. Honestly, though, I would prefer it for the siding (I hate cleaning my sprayer out with thinner, and the house is enormous).
