I am a newbie to HVLP and am looking for advice for an "easy" newbie
finish that meets as many of the following criteria as possible:

1. Strong/durable clear coat
2. Easy to set up& *apply
3. Forgiving to newbies with low-end equipment
4. Easy to clean-up
(of course fast drying would also be nice)

3.5 out of 4:

Shellac ...

Yup....

Sounds like it is Deft time to me.

Or Bullseye.

What could be more forgiving than shellac? You can use it as a
sanding sealer, primer, then change to the waxy stuff and put it on as
a 100% compatible top coat.

And the Bullseye stuff actually does last for a couple of years in the
can (as advertised) if you don't use it all.

Excellent choice.
