Flooring Question - Hardwoord, Bamboo, Laminate, Carpet???

[andsoitgoes]

I just looked at our pictures taken, and we've got tile throughout the hallway upstairs, so it looks like we'll just have to do the flooring in the 3 bedrooms, living room and main "entry" way

I'm concerned about the comment about Laminate, it's REALLY frustrating as I'm hearing that Laminate is sturdy even against water. Then it isn't. Then Hardwood will show the dings and marks from the toys and pets.

Who do I listen to??

Justusfish - I've actually got a connection at End of the Roll in Surrey - hopefully they can point us in the right direction!!
