I've used POR-15 but have mostly switched to ZeroRust.

• It's an aerosol so it goes on easier
  
• It seems to stick to bare metal like paint should, whereas POR-15 can flake off if the surface doesn't have enough bite
  
• It doesn't need a top coat but it will accept one without the special tie-coat primer
  
• UV exposure doesn't matter
  
• I like how it looks, the black is like trim black, not flat, not gloss
  

Now having said all this the only environmental testing I've done is on my car which has mostly sat in my garage for over a year unfinished. I think POR-15 is probably a tuffer coating if the metal has enough texture to it.

Just my observations, it's not like I own stock in the company, just presenting an alternative.
