Best Finish for Handholds

I need to refinish the topside and inside handholds. I was thinking of using Cetol marine on the topside and urethane inside. My reason is that I "think" the Cetol will not be as slick when wet topsides. I'm not that keen on the look of the Cetol so I would like to use urethane inside but again was concerned about grip with wet hands.
Any thoughts on using satin, semi-gloss or gloss on the teak handholds?

I wrap critical rails (those around the cockpit) with small line. Wet stainless just terrible when wet. If they are actually there for safety on-deck, any gloss finish is a bad joke.
