Recommend finishing products to me that aren't Minwax (sh.itjust.works)

Minwax has ruined enough of my projects. I'm looking for recommendations for wood finishing products, particularly stains and wiping varnishes, that actually work, are readily available on the East coast of the United States, and are not manufactured by Sherwin-Williams.

I'm in the habit of raising the grain and sanding before applying an oil finish anyway.
