Default Kitchen flooring - Vinyl, Lino...?

Had some carpet put done today and I asked the fitter some questions about
getting some new flooring in the kitchen... seems like the 2 main choices
are Vinyl and Lino - i THINK I know the differences between the 2 but they
are pretty similar yes?

He also mentioned carpet? is that like proper carpet thats waterproof?? He
also mention somehting else which he said was £10/sqm said it was very good
quality and durable but i cant remember - think he said something about
rubber and gel?? lol sounds interesting...

We need something that is durable but also easy to clean up - we are
probably likely to get it muddy rather than dropping food on it....any tips?

Also perhaps the most important thing is it doesnt get your feet cold, the
tiles we currently have are crap and very cold - the guy said its ok to put
them ontop of the (plastic tiles) we already have..

And he did point out that we have to have all our appliances taken out - i
thin kthe washing machine and dishwasher + fridge are easy enough but i am a
bit worried about the gas cooker as i didnt put it on.. how many wires am i
likely gonna have to take off and is it safe for me to put it back on? will
i have to turn the gas off somewhere or will it be ok if the cooker isnt
connected (i am guessing its just the electrical plus and a gas pipe)

Cheers
