This may sound crazy but look at the new luxury vinyl. I have been shopping for floors and every shop is telling me they are doing a ton of the stuff in all price range houses. It is very heavy duty and not what you would think when you here the word vynil.

I guess I was actually using the incorrect terminology now that I'm re-reading the flooring I was calling laminate. I was actually looking at the heavy duty vinyl at Home Depot. Will correct it. Thanks!

I absolutely LOVE the looks of finished in place hardwood but if practicality is the focus of your home improvement, I would also recommend high end vinyl plank flooring. The install is much faster, easier and no mess. Not to mention you get a fully water proof product when you are done. You can get it to look like any wood floor finish you want.
I have a walnut stained traditional hardwood floor and while it looks nice it scratches, dents, chips, etc. really easy. And once the clear coat was cracked because of settling, a little bit of water creeps in there from ice falling to the floor or something and now you get small amounts of swelling/bowing in hardwood that will never go away. It gets annoying.

My buddy has this stuff in his new house. It looks great and seems to be holding up to his dog. Apparently it's easy to install as well.
