You make a point of saying you built the center of wood (not particle board), and you want to paint it? WTF is that? Real wood should never be painted (Why bother using using real wood?). Stain is an iffy, shellac or polyurethane is best.
Anyway - to answer your question, latex is easier to work with. The result is the same, w/o the hastle of dealing w/oil-based.
