Which paint for inside stand?

I am looking to paint the inside of my cabinet, should I go with KILZ2 water-based primer, or KILZ complete oil-based primer?
 
I have used Kilz oil based for the inside of stands but in the end it will be your choice.
I preferred oil based so the inner of the cabinet would be a bit more protected for an accidental spill or two but not for negligence; nothing would protect from that.
 
Water based should be good.
Protects fine against simple spills.
If you have a long term leak, you are in trouble no matter what type of paint you use.
 
I am going with Kilz premium oil based primer and then will use Rustoleum top side marine paint in grey for inside and black for the outside
 
I may be late to this, but my previous research on RC mentioned that people were using marine paint, which I wish I used:

"The Duralux 1-qt. Sub-Trop Red Primer is high quality rust inhibiting primer for iron, steel or partially rusted galvanized surfaces. Recommended for use in light to moderate marine exposures where good chemical, corrosion and salt water resistance is required. Sub-Trop Red Primer is chromate free, using safe but highly effective rust inhibiting pigments that emulate the application properties and surface protection afforded by traditional red lead metal primers."
 
First coats of primer done...

I figured that it was a dark enough color so that if I had some salt creep I could see it as opposed to a pure white....
