Satinwood, but an oil based one. It's more hardwearing and doesn't mark as
easily as a water based paint.

I tend to prefer a satin finish, but more to the point, what do you
prefer really?

Gloss is more hard wearing and less prone to marking from hoovering etc.
All paint starts out gloss, but satin, eggshell and matt contain mineral
additives which inevitably weaken the film a little.

I've used satin in rooms with lots of natural light, and gloss in dark
and dull rooms to help light them up...

I tend to prefer gloss when I can get a really excellent finish.

I have done some of my doors in Satin but have the frames in Gloss. I like
it.

I've stripped every door in this (Victorian) house back to wood to get
a good finish! People think I'm nuts, but I can't bear the sight of
layers of crusty paint...

That sounds good - I might try that!

IMHO Gloss, every time, oil based, never water based. Anything else
looks like gloss that went wrong.

I found satin quite useful for old wood where it's so distressed. It
hides the dinks and marks.

I'm in the process of re-painting the 18 doors I replaced and painted in
satin earlier this year.

The satin looked OK at first but soon came to look grey and grubby with
all manner of marks showing. The two I've glossed so far look much, much
better.
