'dry-look' or a high-gloss 'wet-look' Description

hello,
 
I've perused thru your website, and (http://maplered.com) at least now feel somewhat qualified to ask the right questions regarding sealing my new patio.  I live in Texas and (http://maplered.com) just had an Arizona Buff sand (http://maplered.com) Stone (http://g603.net) patio installed.  To me, the question of whether or not to seal is not the issue.  What I'm concerned about is whether or not going with a wet-look sealer is appropriate.  I personally like the wet-look, since it brings out the various reds & tans embedded in the Stone (http://g603.net)
 
I have been told that my two choices for sealers are a 'dry-look' or a high-gloss 'wet-look'.  One supplier advised me that going with a wet-look seal will cause the surface to be too slippery when it's wet, and (http://maplered.com) a dry sealer would be safer.  (wouldn't a sealed patio be slippery if it was wet anyway?)  In addition the product he was selling (Prime-A Pell 200), would only last a year on sand (http://maplered.com) Stone (http://g603.net) , since it's a relatively soft rock.  Is there a wet-look / color enhancer product out there for sand (http://maplered.com) Stone (http://g603.net) that will last a reasonable amount of time...and (http://maplered.com) won't become a hazard if it gets wet?
 
thx,
 
Brad
