For durability you can't beat the base coat clear coat system. However, the water based color coat has not been around long enough to say the same.
I have a attached a photo I stumbled across of a car I worked on along with some other very well known fellows way back in 1974. This car was painted with Bill Hirsch lacquer and prepared with great care. It sure held up great.
I'm not saying it would hold up as well if it was parked outside, but I can't imagine doing a car like this using anything other than lacquer (while it is still available).
