Both are silicone based products -- the bag has an application of a similar type of product already, but all of these types of waterproofing sprays will require periodic re-application to maintain effectiveness. I prefer the Scotchgard product only because I think it is easier to apply, but there are a number of different products that would probably do a good job. As always, follow the directions on the can/bottle and you shouldn't run into problems.
No spray will make the bag completely waterproof so it's listed as water-resistant. The zippers (and to a lesser extent the seams) are the most vulnerable points of entry on a bag like this -- it sounds like you have already tested it somewhat -- I just wouldn't let it get completely soaked since it's not constructed to be a dry bag and the contents inside will get wet eventually.
ps. Also not sure I’d advocate this method of locking up the board but I guess it depends on where and when you’re doing this — you are the best judge of that so if it’s something you feel comfortable with then good on ya!
