Oil based semi-transparent stains provide a deeper finish that will bring out the color of the wood and will nourish the wood more than a water based alternative, however oils require more maintenance in tropical and sub tropical climates due to their lower UV durability.
For maximum UV durability, use a 100% acrylic semi-transparent stain which will protect the surface of the wood and will not burn over time as quickly as an oil based stain. In addition, many of the water based stains now are a oil/water base emulsion that both nourish the wood with the small amount of ail and provide a long lasting acrylic finish.
Many companies, like Ben Moore, PPG Porter/Pittsburgh and Sherwin Williams make high quality stains available at your local paint store. Try to avoid the big box brands unless price, not quality, is your main objective.
