Thanks for all the suggestions. I am having a quick closing on a house on 4/15. I picked it mainly on location, size, and price. It has all carpet. House and carpet are 9 years old. Carpet is pretty good, but I am leaning toward replacing it with a hard surface right after closing, before moving anything into house. Everyone's reasons for choice of flooring were so good that I am still undecided! I won't have a pet, so I am thinking maybe laminate or engineered wood rather than tile. I was originally thinking tile because I like it in a friend's house. I expect to rent it out a few months a year, for however that might affect what I should pick.
