Sort of leaves you with the marine epoxy, poly choices, which will,
guaranteed, look horrible every two years.

Au contraire. Simply sand lightly with 220 grit every spring and apply a
refresher coat of varnish or urethane, whichever. Will look great forever.
Also gives Mr. Ewing an excuse to visit Mom.

This applies to an original coating of epoxy, as well. In fact, exposed to
heavy UV epoxy probably will dull as fast as unrefreshed varnish will peel.
