Let me first answer that with another question. When would you want to invest so much time and money and not help to insure it's longevity with a small amount more of time and energy?
Sealers are a great plus to help keep you marble and tile looking fresh for much longer.
The more foot traffic a floor gets the more it would ask to be sealed. Kitchen back splashes benefit greatly as well. I think almost always natural stone should be sealed.
There are many name brands of sealers. Some are good and others are almost worthless. Two finished looks need to be considered. One is all natural so that you can barely tell the difference a sealed portion next to the unsealed with the eye when both are dry. The other is a "wet look". This will make it obvious and it will look wet even when dry.
I personally will only use one name brand unless told other wise by my client. I have found over the many years in the trade the a 511 impregnator by Miracle Sealants is the very best in wear ability and ease of use. Because it penetrates deep into the surface it will never be walked off due to foot traffic and if you follow the instructions it would pretty hard to mess things up.
