I went with a semigloss and it looks quite nice. In fact quite a few people have come over and thought I bought the cabinet and did not make it by hand - even though I painted it with a brush.
The nice thing about a semi-gloss is that it is pretty easy to clean without being overly glossy.
There are some picts on the site below, but the flash really over-emphasizes the gloss. In reality the finish is clean but not too glossy, and the brush lines are not as apparent as they are in the photos.
I can't speak for the real cabinet finish - never looked that closely at it.
