Ue the lacquer to build the coats and top coat with poly.
Lacquer is pretty and easy to work, but will scratch much
too easy for "desk use". The act of throwing down a set of
car keys will scratch laquer quite easily. I hate poly but this
is where poly should be used.

I vote for lacquer, Shellac is my personal favorite However is not very
tuff. A desk application requires water proof and scuff proof. Lacquer or
polly is the thing.

You might consider adding Behlen's Rock Hard Table Varnish to your list of
candidates.
