Mineral oil is the way to go. USP means pharmaceutical grade, and is pretty common and pretty cheap at most pharmacies. It also does not (and cannot) get rancid

With cheaper cutting boards that have the grain oriented the long way, each time you cut something you're also cutting across the wood fibers, effectively sawing at the board and dulling your knives in the process. Thus, these type of cutting boards tend to look all gouged and cut up after they've been used for a while, whereas an end-grain board will looks almost new.
End-grain boards are also considered a bit safer, as they leave no gouges or cuts to harbor bacteria, etc.
I've been using an old end-grain cutting board for almost 20 years, and after a quick wipe of oil, it could almost be mistaken for new.

Also note the difference in size: 240 sq in surface @ 1.18" thick, vs 145 sq in surface @ 0.75" thick. Look at the second pic on that Costco page, those boards are rather small.
