I haven't used either of these products on flooring but I have used them on other woodworking projects (window, floor and door trim as well as furniture projects). I really like the water based because it results in much more natural look to the wood your using. It is especially good when your using cleaned up re-claimed lumber.

I used water base poly on cork flooring. I goes one easy and dries fast so put several coats on in one day. Since the floor is dark anyway the difference in the colour does not show. In the end a great quick finish.

We recently refinished our oak hardwood floors and chose a water based semi gloss polyurethane. It was easy to work with and we were really happy with the way it turned out.

Thank you for posting this. Without finish the floor will look uncompleted and won't have this beautiful look. There are many things to take into account when choosing the water-based or oil-based finish, but once you have your floor finished, you can enjoy the durable, unique look.
