Would appreciate some input and recommendations before we shop at Lowe’s this weekend. I have installed laminate flooring before, but never vinyl plank. I assume that it’s much easier.

Priority for us is-

1 Appearance
2 Ease of install.
3 Cost.
4 Durability.

TIA
I am currently in the process of recovering from a flooded floor in my master bedroom, which has carpet. The cause is a leaking hot water pipe under the concrete slab in the master bathroom. Several sections of the wood baseboards have to be replaced due to water damage. If I have to replace the carpeting, I will not use anything that can be damaged by water.
