Default Best finish for Oak kitchen table?

writes:
What finish should I put on it, assuming it will get a lot of use,
spills, and kids abuse? I want to use a clear, easy to apply finish
with good wear resistance...any ideas?

My red oak dining room table has just poly on it. I use a floor-grade
poly from Sherwin Williams, figuring anything designed to be *walked*
on is strong enough for a table. It's held up fine for the last, um
10-15 years (I forget exactly when I built it) with two kids beating
on it every day.
