Any Stain alone will not last long as they are meant to have a poly protection. The more pigment in the stain the greater the UV protection. Marine Spar is the best, but there is no clear oil. Linseed has a yellow tint and will darken. You can factor in the yellow with your stain choice(going Lighter) and get what you want. The acrylics are quickly catching up to the oils so there are some decent ones. This is my experience from having refinished a few hundred Front doors in my career
