Deck Staining Project Questions

I am looking for a little help on stain brands and products.  I have a large covered wrap around porch on the front of the house that is approx. 20 years old located in the Upper Midwest.  I am in the process of sanding down and re-staining the deck to a different color.  So one of the issues that I am running into is a mixture of different species of wood.  The floor is T/G Douglas Fir, the trim and stairs are cedar, and the posts are pressure treated along with the skirting that I am replacing.  I am looking between a semi transparent and semi- solid stain, but concerned about durability since this is the main entrance into the home and also color differentiation (looking at a dark brown color) due to the different species of wood.  I am hopeful that I should be able to get 95% of the deck to fresh wood, it had a solid redwood stain before.  Any recommendations on stain brands? Looking through reviews I am thinking either Cabot or TWP if I can get it close.  It looks like there is a dealer around 50 miles away.  I would like to have a product that I can restain by just cleaning in the future without the sanding prep that I am doing now as the stain wears differently with traffic.   Also, since I am replacing the skirting and the railing with new green wood what will happen if I stain the wood right away and don't let weather.  Will the stain just not hold? 

Thanks in advance
