Hardwood floors - oil or water refinish?

    Hardwood floors - oil or water refinish?

    I'm getting my hardwood floors refinished and am not sure whether to use water or oil-based stain.  I've heard they look differently aesthetically and that oil fumes last longer, but I'm getting mixed info on which is more durable.

     My house has a modern/contemporary style and I'm not refinishing areas that run the risk of frequently getting water on thm (i.e., not refinishing the kitchen or bathroom floors).

     Any advice on whether I should go with water or oil would be much appreciated - thanks!
