Yes, we have the Lowes Surface Source vinyl plank and love it. I installed it myself - 1500 square feet in 4 days! It was very easy to install and it looks professional if I do say so myself (but others have also said so). Install when the temperature is in the range specified (75-80) for best results, otherwise it may shrink or expand too much and lead to problems. We love the floor. Only thing I would have wanted more is real wood, but this was 80 cents per sq ft and DIY install. It is so easy to clean and people remark that it looks like real wood, and looks better than more expensive laminate. Best of all it is silent, unlike laminate over an uneven subfloor - no worry abut squeaks crackles etc. ANd no worry about moisture getting on it (though if you have moisture come up from underneath mold could grow, since it doesn't breath). We're still finishing the place but here are some pics of the flooring install and painting. I need to take some after pics but my camera broke!! pics before during and after install

Get a sample of each and bring them into your space to see what you think looks best. That is step 2. (Step 1 was identifying what you think looks good in pictures). Most flooring stores have samples you can check out (perhaps with a deposit that they refund when you return the sample).

We have LVT wood planks for our basement floor. It's a great surface... for a rec-room floor. We recently had an appraisal and the appraiser thought it was laminate, like a lot of people do. I don't think it would make a very nice looking accent wall. I think for the impact and price you'd rather do wood.
