On my own
house I'll go with hardwood or bamboo in the major rooms just for the
warmth
and we're nowhere as hard on the flooring as the tenants.

Why bamboo?

Wife is a bamboo freak - she grows that stuff all over the backyard (all in
planters). Besides bamboo flooring is harder than most hardwood flooring and
it is very stable and has a different look.
