We use good old-fashioned varnish. Maybe not so old-fashioned as finishes have come a long way.
On my boat we use Epiphanes thinned with Captain's Varnish. It is slightly harder to brush, but looks good and has great UV resistance.
The secret to a good finish is in the preparation though. Lots of sanding and cleaning prior to ever touching a brush.
