polyurethane is more durable than laquer and smaller quantity finicky to apply. although, with polyurethane, you enjoy to sand lightly inbetween coats. varnish is a flawless choice also. they come is varying shines - satin, semigloss, gloss

if your stain is waterbased, use a water base topcoat - polycrylic
