Much more to staining concrete than product selection alone. Failures come from inadequate prep, existing crete issues, incompatabilities of coatings to previous seals, improper application methods, etc. etc...Far as products go there are acids, acrylics, urethanes, and dyes all requiring different application techniques or equipments. Some are better suited to certain applications. Every application can be different and can call for different approach in selecting both stain and sealers.
If the job is rough exterior crete and your doing a solid acrylic or urethane type staining then most any will suffice....all else I would probably disuade you from entering into lightly without practice or experience.
