I'd definitely go the oil way. Either Teak Oil or Danish Oil. Could be worth trying it out on the bottom of the cabinet first, so you get a feel for the absorbency of the wood and to what extent the colour changes when the oil is absorbed.

Personally, I like Danish Oil because it leaves a matt, not shiny finish.
