I would leave it clear and varnish with a boat varnish. That stuff is meant to withstand anything. If you want a darker finish the Minwax would be fine underneath. The darker the stain the more care should be taken in the sanding. Just like with body work, work down on a finer grit. Not many finishes will withstand the constant sun it will get. Boat varnish will.
