Default Seal exterior of brick house?

There are professional masonry sealing products. These are not
available at the box stores - go to a commercial supply house.
Good brand names include, but not limited to:
Prososco
W.R. Grace
Dayton Superior

The products will be silanes or siloxanes, absolutely clear.

I have a 50+ year old brick ranch house in coastal VA. During
the
N'oreaster of a week or so ago, we had steady 30+ mph winds with
(in
our case) 10.9" of rain. Ten days later, we can still see the
dry/wet
line on the windward side brick caused by the overhang of the
eaves.
Have never had that happen before, and we have gone through lots
of
hurricanes.
So, the question arises in my mind, is there some reason I want
(or
not want) to seal the exterior brick once it dries out. What's
an
apprpreate sealer, if you believe in sealing?
TIA
