I will repeat my experiences many years ago with marine spar varnish and one part polyurethane. I use the spar varnish on the deck of my racing boat and in five years it was a varnish disaster and looked like H. Years later I built a sail boat and I used a one part polyurethane on the mast, seats and trim. I sold it ten years later and the polyurethane was still in good condition. So, now I have a can of polyurethane ready to apply when I get to that stage. I don't have any good reasons for this but it has influenced my thinking.
