What are the pros/cons of oil vs. water based hardwood floor refinishing?

I’m getting my hardwood floors refinished and am not sure which to do. 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 it (i.e., not refinishing the kitchen or bathroom floors).

I’m going to be rehabbing a house that had some roofing problems and damaged the hardwood floors in certain areas. I was told that I could hire someone to sand the floors and refinish them for a cost. Does this effectively remove the signs of water damage?

Also, what are you guessing the rate is for hardwood resurfacing in Chicago, IL?

Thank you!

I didn’t realize the Fast Drying Poly I bought was oil based until a few minutes ago. I just painted a table with a Black Eggshell water based paint and I don’t want to ruin it by using the wrong Polyurethane. I don’t think the Eggshell will stand up to abuse without a sealer.

Is it, and if so, why is it, ok to use a water based poly to finish an oil based stain? Is there such a thing as a water based stain?
