Double Bass Re-varnishing edges

I need to re-varnish the edges of my bass at some point since the old spirit varnish is bassically gone in spots and I don't want to add bumpers.

What to use - spirit or oil? I thought oil would be better in the long run since it is more durable, but spirit has been suggested to me recently. What do you guys think?
