To refinish a cedar deck

[Proteus]

I need to refinish my deck. It's aprox 15 years old. I've replaced some of the boards now I need to refinish. I am cleaning with bleach and sodium hydroxide to kill the mildew. The deck was stained over 5 years ago. I bought house 5 years ago. I do not want to spend alot of time sanding to have look new as ill be replacing in next 5 years. Paint or stain. I was going to go with red cedar color. To look natural

Suggestions?
