Gloss most definitely, satin has flattening agents in it that make the lacquer, or even varnish, softer and more prone to damage. I have a G.E J-82 that someone refinished with satin lacquer and it's full of scratches and scuff marks near the base because it was too soft. Even so I don't like the look on an old radio cabinet, it is like clear coated paint on a vintage car it just looks wrong. If you don't like the gloss you can always rub it out as Bob suggests.
