Anything you use is going to darken it quite a bit. I like mink oil. Some people like other conditioners or ren wax. Sno seal seems like a good option.
In my mind, it is better in regards to the value to use some kind of conditioner than to let it dry out too much but ymmv.

Sno-seal user here, I have a quantity stashed from 20 years ago just in case they stop making it.

If you use it, it will absorb enough oils from your skin to keep it from drying out.

However, if you're concerned about it losing value, you can't use it.

So, I'd say mink oil/leather conditioner.
