Satin finish will look very nice, but won't be as shiny as the semi-gloss. I would recommend the satin finish because it won't show scratches as much.

Should you paint closet door with eggshell or semigloss?
Your answer will depend on two things. 1) where the closet door is. - If the door is in a low traffic area, such as an adult's bedroom, a guest room, or such an eggshell finish is great. If by chance the door gets a smudge of dirt on it you can wipe it with a damp cloth to remove the dirt, but scrubbing it will damage the surface. - If the door is in a high traffic area, such as a main entrance, mud room, or child's bedroom you may find the semigloss a better bet as you can give the surface repeated cleanings without effecting the surface. 2) your personal aesthetics - If you want a seamless look from walls to doors, or just don't like the look of a semigloss and are willing to either repaint a bit more frequently or be extra careful when you clean then by all means use eggshell. - If the thought of a scuff showing gives your the shivers then semigloss is your way to go. May I suggest a third alternative? Most paint manufacturers now make at least one sometimes two or three, gloss levels between eggshell and semigloss. Pearl, and /or satin are the most common. As gloss factors go up, the hardness of the surface increases, so these would allow some what more cleaning potential and still keep the "shine" down.
