When we moved into our house we had wood laminate. We had three dogs at the time, and their running around would scratch through the top layer, and it looked like crap. It was pretty cheap stuff so maybe not applicable to all.
We replaced that with bamboo flooring about eight years ago when a press fit hose popped off on our washing machine and ruined all of it. We were planning to replace it anyway, so it turned out okay. That stuff was pretty good. Very tough, decent price, and it was attractive. I liked it.
Earlier this summer, the hose from the wall to the refrigerator ice machine developed a slow leak that didn't notice for some ridiculously long amount of time. It dripped down the wall behind the fridge and went under the flooring, and sat there for who knows how long, until discoloration started showing up in the seams of the floor.
So we replaced that with wood look porcelain tile. We considered vinyl planks, but tile is supposed to be more durable and won't fade over time. While the vinyl planks are basically waterproof, there is a chance for water to seep through to the sub-floor if there is any gaping in the floor. Tile is less likely to have that problem, and I don't want to deal with water damage to these dumb floors ever again.
