I've had good luck with Sears Weatherbeater (long time ago) and Sherwin Williams here lately. Not sure how Sears' quality is now, but back in the day it was top-notch and even had additional mildew agents...

I've used Pittsburgh Paint will alot of success. I used Rustoleum on my gutters, that worked really good. However none of it lasts forever. I hear commercials all the time on morning radio for Rhino Shield. It is some sort of permanent ceramic coating. Probably would permanently damage your savings account too.

I have spent the past several years experimenting with Weather Beater, Valspar, Olympic, Sherwin Williams, and Behr. To this point, and only speaking to my experience, only the Behr Premium Plus holds, and only when primed first. Despite that BS about primer and paint all in one, I think that's a ploy to sell repeat idiots. Everything else I've put on has/is peeling within two years. Weather Beater didn't last the first winter even. At this point, with the same people who ran K-Mart into the ground, I wouldn't trust anything from Sears. I now have three yo Behr without sign of failure anywhere! Siding, and trim holding solid, even against my attempts to lift it w a pocket knife. With that, I'm confident to finally address this crappy looking house! I've also had luck with Benjamin Moore in another application. So there's another idea...
