Which stain for wood playset?

I want to touch up some parts of our wood swingset. Would anyone care to recommend a particular product?

I did a search on this yesterday! I just had a swingset installed last week. This is what the manufacturer says ont heir website:

"Most customers have the best results when they sand and stain their wood then seal it with an oil-based sealant. In order to maintain your warranty you must maintain the wood and inspect it monthly. Remember, stain is for color and sealant is for protection."

Thank you! I had not thought about looking in the manufacturer's website. I will do that.

Well this isn't much help but I know my DH got stain at Home Depot and it has held up very well. Probably Minwax brand but he doesn't remember the exact brand. He didn't do a sealant but that sounds like a good idea.
