What do you mean by "best"? Cheapest? Thinest? Thickest? Glue-down?
Nail-down? Snap together? ....

I know folks really should be more informative and specific about their
questions, but I'd wager that 75% of the time, what folks mean by "best" has to
do with durability. I know little about laminate flooring, but if I did, that's
where I'd start.

As long as we're all being persnickety here - what *I* mean by "best" may mean,
a poster not top-posting...

Cheers,
(what's this below - what do I do with it..?)

WilsonArt (I have some) and Mannington are two of the better grades. Avoid
the $1 stuff from the discount stores. My WilsonArt still looks as good as
the day it went down 7 years ago. OTOH, I used engineered wood in other
areas and I like that better. It was not available when I used the
laminate.

Mannington snapped together was put in my parent's condo about 4 years ago.
Looks brand new still. Manington has one of the better warranties and edges
treated to be water resistant. Most aren't.
