Either one will give the sasme appearance provided you select the same sheen(glossy,semi gloss,matte etc).Poly is easier to find and the fumes contain less VOC's.Laquer is MUCH harder unless you're using catalyzed poly or similar commercial products.
Laquer also tends to self level better going on much smoother though neither one is 100% self leveling.Regardless which one you use it's important to stir only,never shake,and make sure it's applied with the right brush,though spraying is the best application.To sum up,laquer is most likely the best way for you to do this,just make sure the area is properly ventilated.
Regardless of which one you decide on,three coats wet sanded with 600 grit ALOX paper between coats and a final buff with 000 or 0000 steel wool

Knotty Pine Kitchens

I'm not expert and to me they both look good, but for some reason I do prefer lacquer. As for what is best with knotty pine I'm not sure. We used lacquer with some knotty pine cabinets in a vacation house once. Looked great.

I made knotty pine kitchen cabinets and used polyurethane. It's very durable, cleans easy, and will last a long time.

I have been considering this myself lately as I would like to remodel my kitchen. When the time comes I am going to go with a nice medium oak so that my kitchen does not look dark and uninviting. Also want the doors on the cabinets to have windows in them, so that when my extended family and friends come to visit they can find everything easier. Love to have people over during the holidays so when I am all done remodeling the kitchen I want it to be open with lots of room to move around when we all start cooking( I have 7 sisters so it gets very crowded when we all get together). Sorry no links to share at this moment.

Polyurethane is better near water and it won't yellow like lacquer seems to do, although I'm sure they sell non yellowing brands today. Polyurethane won't be quite as smelly either.

Wash them down with Murphy's Oil Soap. When totally dry, apply Poly--I would use a satin gloss. Let dry 24 hours. Lightly buff with 0000 sandpaper, wipe off all dust. Recoat with poly. You should do 3 coats total if you want the cabinets to last.

Lacquer. That's better than anything else for wood.

last year I re-did my kitchen cabinets... sanded them down a bit, cleaned them with some Murphy's Oil and applied Poly to them... I think you should be fine, mine were also Pine and I have not had any problems...
