If you want to maintain teak, you'll be working oil into it yearly at best. No varinishes or shellacs allowed on ancient tropical rainforest wood, buddy. If you can afford to surface with teak, then keep the pretty wood pretty with some elbow grease and oil. Linseed would be fine. (I think) You know, the teak on the boats here in Seattle that has aged is beautiful, while the teak that has been rubbed appreciatingly over the years looks out of place on a boat that is obviously not new. The stuff will probably last around twenty years without oil if it is fastened with stainless screws. Are you sure you want to try to keep it looking new? I bet at some time you stop finishing it and start liking it better as soon as you do. Here in Seattle the place to call for all the best marine wood care products and advice is Doc Freemans. 206-633-1500.
