Best Way To Finish Cedar Decking?


I'm thinking of using a SW toner on a cedar porch I just did. It's covered and faces East, with large trees offering protection from sun. So, not a lot of UV rays, but water is still an issue on the perimeter.

They want the new look of the cedar to last as long as possible, (within reason I pointed out to them). What would be your choice?
