I chose WB because oil poly reeks! Makes my nasal passages
burn. Plus the WB dries quickly.

Why would you need to recoat every year? Have everyone remove their shoes
when they come into the house if need be. Any carpeted areas will last
longer too with no shoes. Recoating the floor every year would be a major
pain, especially if you have an active family.

The reason I choose water-based over oil-based for my floor is because
oil-based will yellow over time.
