I think either will work there are huge differences in quality of both so do some research before committing . I have had good quality laminate in my last two homes and love it I had it everywhere in my last house except the bathroom in this one I have it in the powder room too . Kronotex alminate from Germany is what I had in my old house still looks good 17 yrs later. In our place now we have a laminate that looks like slate we have big dogs not one scratch in 10 yrs .We have that laminate on the mainfloor and LVP in the walk out basement because our dogs have a free run dog run and doggie door so easy to mop up when muddy feet walk through plus our grandkids are in and out of the pool all summer and they use the fridge and the bathroom in the walk out.I think wood floors are lovely but not with our lifestyle.
