Just replaced flooring with large tile.

Looking for a recommendation for sealing the grout. I have done it before with a little bottle that has the brush.

But what is a good sealer?

I used the small bottle with brush on my new house. Seems to be doing well. Probably should've done two coats

2nd time sealing grout--different floors--but this time i used a spray from lowes. was way easier and faster than that brush.

If you have light colored grout it helps prevent staining and discoloring.

Sprays a day the brush on types are just a stain blocker. They don't completely make it stain proof. Anything that is porous will stain unless you use something that penetrates the pores and fills in the pores.
Spray and brush just penetrate into the grout they don't fill the pores. And if you read on some of these it will state that it is recommended to spraying or brushing it again after a couple years or even once a year
