I've had all 3.
1. LVT is overall best, imo. Price is cheaper than the others, but still looks very nice.
2. Wood looking tile is good, too. But maybe a little more pricey than LVT and has a bit harder feel and there is the grout to deal with. Still a good choice.
3. Laminate. Unless you are installing this in an area with little traffic and absolutely no chance for water, I don't recommend. In bedrooms it's probably just fine. But not in living rooms, and definitely not in a kitchen or bathroom.

Problem here, in time those will be out and something new will be in. Then one is left at a high cost to remove.
A good grade LVT in wet areas.
Laminates in bedrooms were one can put down a nice rug too!

Put down LVT in half our home last year. It looks great and dont have to worry about damaging at all. Have a golden retriever and its perfect for that.

Agree with all of that. My dad had a leak in his house, actually his neighbor, since he's downsized to a townhouse now, and it ruined a good bit of the wood floors he had on his main level. Insurance was replacing it all, so he opted for the wood look tile, and it looks great.
We're about to do a small addition, and we're going with interlocking vinyl plank flooring in there.
