For working surfaces, I have had the best results using several coats of polyurethane or epoxy (be sure to follow manufacturer's instructions when using these) as the final finish with appropriate sanding/conditioning in between and polishing of the final coat. If you use these finishes, it is a good idea to check that the stains/paint used under these are compatible with the final finish.
