Personally I've been using General Finishes Exterior 450 water based topcoat. It's what was recommended to me by the guys at our local Woodcraft store. I use several other general finishes topcoats and so far I haven't had any complaints. It does take quite a long time to fully cure (about a month) but the can does say that it can be put outside in the elements after 5days of dry time.
