I would say that it just depends. The best thing would be to talk to a realtor in your area as there are a lot of factors that can go into this. It depends on what level of house you have and the neighborhood it is in. Who would most likely purchase your house? If your house is higher end and would likely appeal to a family that is established and has a decent income, vinyl or laminate could both be a very poor choice. However, if your home is on the smaller side and most likely to appeal to a family just starting out, then either one could be acceptable.

@V M sorry, just seeing your post above. We are just now finally breaking ground on our home so I don't have pics of the flooring to show you from my house. I will come back and post when I do but that will be some months from now. But we are paying, I think, 15K for our Multi-Length Rigid Core SPC floors in color Sandhill. Our house will be 2975 sf and this floor covering will be throughout the home, except in 3 of the full baths and the utility room. I'm not exactly sure how many square feet that leaves but hopefully you can do some rough math. Everything goes through my builder so I don't have an exact price per square foot to provide you. I also am not sure if this includes labor to install.

The choice is a personal preference. The LVP is going to be more durable and scratch resistant than engineered hardwood. The hardwood will likely add to the value of your house whereas LVP won't. With 2 small children and a dog I would likely choose the LVP. Either can work. If you haven't seen LVP in person I recommend going to a showroom to take a look at some. Among others, Karndean has some great looks. It's hard to beat the waterproof aspect of the LVP (though a couple of companies, such as Shaw and Barogue, now have waterproof hardwood. It has the same core, SPC, as many floating LVP floors).

Cork wins. Linoleum has a small amount of cork dust in it...but the total thickness of linoleum (the real stuff) is only a few millimeter thick (like 2-3mm). Compare that to a THIN cork glue down tile = 4mm. Now compare that to a nice 6mm cork glue down tile. Or how about a super thick cork tile with 8mm total cork. Right. You get the idea. The more you get of the 'good stuff' the more comfort you get. Now to compare the pricing. Wow! You are in for a bit of a price shock. The real sheet linoleum is fantastically expensive. Even after 150 years of use, the industry still maintains a HIGH price tag. Yes these floors are nigh-on indestructible...but you are going to pay upfront for the longevity of the product. And you are signing up for some bi-yearly maintenance x100 years. That's how you get linoleum to last 100 years...you maintain it with polish that is applied every 6 months or so...for the rest of its life. And don't forget to strip it every 5 years or so...you don't want a build up of polish. And then you start the cycle all over again. A cork glue down tile is going to have the same cost of install as a porcelain tile floor. I would expect a price of $18/sf for the installed/sealed 4mm - 6mm cork glue down tile. That's labour, glue and polyurethane included. The 8mm cork tile will increase that to $22/sf or so. A cork FLOATING FLOOR will give you everything you want with a better price tag. Yes marmoleum has click together tiles. These will be more expensive than cork floating flooring. The cork floating flooring can be sealed once installed to create a water resistant floor. The marmoleum click tiles cannot be sealed and therefore the seams remain a higher risk space to penetrate to the fibreboard below. And the comfort of the linoleum click floors = the cork UNDERLAY sitting on the back of the tiles...see...more cork = "mo'e better". www.icorkfloor.com Grab some samples from the website.
