What brand of stain is the best for a new cedar fence? Should I also apply a 'clear coat' on top of the stain?

I am building a new cedar fence and I want to keep the natural look of the wood. I do not like the aged gray look of cedar. What kind of stain/clear coat would be best for preserving the natural look of cedar?What brand of stain is the best for a new cedar fence? Should I also apply a 'clear coat' on top of the stain?
Thompson's is a very good brand for this. They sell a cedar color with seal. Remember, to keep it looking new and weather proof, you should seal it yearly
