Hey All,
Few home depots ( north Nashville area, Madison / Hville etc) are clearancing out Olympic Waterguard 1 gallon jugs for as low as $2.90 with lots of tints available.
Hoping this might be a larger national trend as new stock comes in, but it's a heck of a deal and I bought about 8 gallons ( there were about 20 more left at the store ). I had a project building a picnic table I was going to seal up in a few weeks, but bought enough to seal a fenced area and deck as well at this price in the spring
Receipt attached for reference.

Behr Premium Solid Color Waterproofing Stain & Sealer (Home Depot)
Olympic Elite Advanced Stain + Sealant in One Solid
They have great durability but are expensive.
Long Version:
ANY transparent or semi transparent won't last for 2+ years in my experience on any deck I've probably tried 5 different brands with the same results at various houses and rentals we have. What I have learned is that a rule of thumb is take whatever number they show on the label and divide it in half ( in my case with the tinted ones it's 2years on a deck 4 years so realistically 1 and 2 ).
I do have some Olympic solid on the deck right we put on 6 years ago ($50 a gallon) but every other year I go out and wash it with a brush and light pressure washing and then apply a close-ish match semi-transparent on top ( mainly because there are thin spots from chairs being drug across, and other wear and tear) so I can realistically get the maximum duration out of the expensive solid color one but in order to do that it's not maintenance free. All in all on a ~20x36 deck it takes about 1.5hrs of work total, so not bad, I don't have to redo the railing or anything since that last much much longer.
Time is money for sure and this stuff is SUPER easy to apply with a sprayer easily since it's so thin, I would guess it's a 1/3rd 1/4th of the time to apply this vs a solid. You can even carefully spray railing etc if you miss a little and it lands on concrete etc doesn't really show it like it does with the solids.
But for $2.90 it's a super slick deal..
A higher price doesn't always equal higher quality.

Transparent stains especially water based only lasts a year if that.
Solid stains last the longest but I do not like the painted look.
Semi-transparent is what I have used trying Thompsons, Cabot, Olympic, PPG Lifetime.
My go to was Cabot and lasted 3-4 years, but then I tried PPG Pro "something" lifetime and that has lasted 6 years so far and fading. It seems you get what you pay for and the PPG semi-tranparent is now about $100/ gallon.
As others have mentioned this deal is good depending on now much your time is worth.

250ft will definitely be a lot of work. I was able to spray a single coat on my 50Ft in about an hour but that was including backbrushing the horizontal rails and using a ladder for the other side since it's on a retaining wall. I will say, make sure your fence is adequately dry as mentioned in the instructions. I ended up doing 2 coats since the wood was still sucking it up.

As water-based sealers fail, they crack off the surface of the wood (usually in 1-5 years depending on conditions in my experience). When this happens, the *only* way to reseal is to sand off the old finish and reapply. Oil based seals on the other hand, fail gradually (essentially "fading") into the wood. And resealling usually just requires applying a wood cleaner and then a new coat of oil based seal when dry (skipping a potentially very long sanding process).
If sealing something that is indoors or a vertical surface without much sun or weather exposure, you'll get a longer life (for any sealer) before failure, so water-based may not be an issue for you.
