I'd say neither. Epoxy is not paint, and it's not magic. It IS heavy and expensive, though.

I use a product called Deks Olje, which is an oil intended for marine use. It holds up well and provides excellent protection. Not much difference in price between that and pure tung oil, but tung oil is easier to source locally.
