Cabinet Interior- Varnish, Lacquer or Oil?

[Tin Soldier]

Hi there,

 

I'm ready to pain my kitchen cabinets. externals/doors will be painted

 

interiors are oak veneered mdf for cabinetry and solid oak for drawers.

 

Whats the best way to finish these? lacquer, varnish or oil?

 

thanks

if scratched, oil can be reapplied as necessary without much prep, i have oiled or waxed all our timber for years to avoid extra work!
