If you want to kid proof it, go with the LVT or a high quality porcelain.
Eng wood or bamboo--- scratched, and dented to death if your kids are anything like mine.

We had engineered wood put through most of my house, pecan wood to be exact about 10 yrs ago. It’s beautiful. We put vinyl wood look in master bedroom 2 yrs ago and I love it. The engineered wood took a beating from those pointed high heels before we noticed it. $10K vs $800.

That really depends on the wood. I took out carpet in 3 bedrooms and replaced with engineered Brazilian Cherry flooring and between the hardness of the wood and the finishing system used they are very hard and scratch resistant. Most quality engineered flooring uses an aluminum oxide based finish if it's a non-high gloss finish. I bought a diamond tipped miter saw blade for the work, carbide blades burn out quickly in the stuff.
