Solid stains last longer that other shades, hard to say which is better know days.
I cannot think of anything that will provide long term protection for a wood deck anymore. That’s why the Trex type products are becoming more and more popular or in the case of ground level decks brick or concrete patios
Half the problem is with the stains. The other half is the wood itself.

I gave up on any deck stain products years ago so I just pressure wash mine every spring. Any stain without pigments won’t last, at least in my experience. I spent a lot of time and money using different brands of deck stains only to have to go through the same process the next year. This is my 25 year old deck after pressure washing with just water and not even any type of cleaners as well, just water. Yes, it will be chalky looking before next spring but it would have any way FME. The top deck was washed 1 year ago and is chalky looking and hadn’t been washed and the bottom was just washed. Due to EPA regs, paint and/or stains just don’t hold up like they once did.

I used 12x12 composite deck tiles over half my deck.
Other half will be stained.
