which to pick

I am trying to make a decision on which stain to purchase. It seems that any stains that I can buy locally do not have a good rating score according to your website. I am leaning toward the TWP products based on the scores and information you provided. I live in Southern Minnesota and the weather conditions can be extremely harsh. I am having trouble locating the home site for TWP, Defy, and Armstrong Clark. I am little nervous about purchasing online unless I feel that I have some connection with the company. I would appreciate your suggestion for which stain to purchase based on the part of the world where I live.
