In decreasing levels of protection (but not necessarily looks or ease of
use)...

1) Epoxy. If you can get a good-looking finish from it.
2) Spar Urethane or other "outdoor urethane" / "Marine Finish".
3) Catalyzed or Pre-Catalyzed Lacquer.
4) "Normal" Lacquer
5) Polyurethane
6) Varnish

I'd tend to think that a long-oil marine varnish would be #3. I really
don't know much about lacquers, but I'm unaware of any particular UV
resistance they might possess. Or did the slash (/) indicate a separation
between urethane varnish and long-oil "Marine" types?
