Which is more durable oil or Polyurethane wood flooring?

Polyurethane comes in two forms, oil-based or water-based. Both are quite durable. Oil-based poly is slightly amber or golden-colored, so it will give a golden glow to your wood. Water-based poly dries crystal-clear so it won't change the color of your floors at all. There are some oil-modified versions of polyurethane on the market now, available to consumers, which are still soap-and-water clean-up like water-based polys. These oil-modified polys tend to be more durable than ordinary polyurethane. To minimize the appearance of scratches and wear later, choose a satin-finish instead of gloss.
