5-gallon containers. You'll need more than you anticipate. Go with a semi-transparent stain and not just a sealer since the former will last longer.
When I sealed my fence (Olympic from Lowe's), it needed to be redone in 3 years. That's when I went with a stain (Home Depot, Behr, I believe). Claims to last 10 years on fences, but I certainly wouldn't hold my breath. That said, it would be better than the sealer.
And you won't want to do this chore again in only 3 years.
