I am currently building a new home. We have installed 4″ quarter sawn red oak flooring. I wonder what are the advantages of oil based poly versus water based. Should the last coat of poly be sanded, if so, what grit.

Dan, this has been covered and recovered, sanded, buffed and polished... ad nauseum. Try a search on this site, and you will get a compendium of information. More options than just oil or water based. Or, email me by clicking on the name.
*I would suggest to do as the man says. Don't muck up that quartersawn oak with poly.MD
*Some of the previous threads recommended a Swedish product called Glitsa. Also recommended by my local hardwood supplier. That was also the product the floor installer selected to put on my brand new quartersawn white oak floors about 2 weeks ago. Supposedly vastly superior to polyurethane, but really, really noxious fumes. OK as long as you don't have to live there for a few days. It sure looks great!
