Paints will peel on floors.

We are also painting the ceiling of our screened in porch, along with the wall next to the house.  My wife has gotten a recommendation from her brother in law contractor for Sherwin Williams Resilience to paint the floor and wall of the screened in porch.  Would this be a good choice?

Would it also be a good choice for the outside vertical railings?  Or do we need a solid stain for the exterior railings?  They are pressure treated pine with black aluminum balusters.  We are looking at painting/staining the wood white and the deck floor a russet or mahogany color.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
