Floor Coating?

Need some opinions,
I am at the point where I need to seal/coat my floor before I start working on the walls.
What do you guys suggest for a nice looking and durable finish for the floor. It is made from 3/4" birch ply, I couldn't stand to let my wife cover it in linoleum.
I am looking for an amber or cherry coloring, but am flexible. Danish Oil? Spar Varnish? Minwax stain and poly? Straight Poly?
All thoughts are welcome!
Thanks,
John
