Douglas Fir will make a beautiful floor, Yes it is softer than red oak, But if you were to put in the same floor today it would cost you twice that of oak. There are many old houses here in the pacific northwest with fir floors.
I would forget polyurethane and go with Synteko or Glitsa Swedish finish. I would not stain the floor, but just clear coat it.
