Would you use butcher block oil or mineral oil for wood countertops?

Seems butcher block oil has mineral oil and some waxes. I want whichever is easier for long term use. Don’t ever want to have to resand, just re apply.
Thanks for those with experience who reply.
Also, recommendations on a certain brand are appreciated.

I use butcher block oil; Heat the container up in the microwave until it just gets warm enough to soften the waxes and it will soak in like crazy. I think it seals moisture out a little better than straight mineral oil.

I really like Osmo TopOil. Their PolyX Oil is really great for any non-food wood surfaces too.

I second the osmo oil. We have them in our pantry and laundry. That stuff is good. Wouldn’t use it on a cutting board, but great for countertops.

I used Waterlox for my walnut countertops in the kitchen. Has been three years and looks the same as the day I applied it.
