We rented a house with vinyl plank and really liked it. We bought a house with Mannington laminate and love that too. You do hear people and dog walking across the floor, but you could hear that on the vinyl as well, just a bit quieter. I would be happy with either. With vinyl you can get a lighter color. With our laminate (sawmill hickory), I thought the house would seem dark (we bought it sight unseen), but it's situated NW to SW with a sun tube in the kitchen, and it's not dark at all.
