Plank vinyl is not linoleum. Plank vinyl is PVC over a thick rubber like backing. Linoleum is made from linseed oil. I don't think it is has been used much for a long time.

Value is in the eye of the beholder. Tile costs more than than plank vinyl but many people see negative value in having to keep the grout lines of tile clean. That's why we went with plank vinyl when we replaced the carpeting in our bedrooms. You would have had to pay us to put tile in the bedrooms.
