Since we are looking for a pre-owned due to the location(s) we prefer, we saw everything from original flooring, to wood laminate, to all-tile.

While the tile probably looks a little better (IMO), having dealt with it (and the negative issues already mentioned) in previous homes, we would probably lean toward the newer soft wood laminate or even carpet in some areas.

We decided to have laminate installed over the vinyl in the living and dining and foyer. Will decide about kitchen and baths later. Just could not get that warm and fuzzy about sheet vinyl in the big rooms.

You are among many that said never again only to do it anyway. We did lots of research to find our home and said never again and we are now in our second home in only 2 years. The new home had the flooring you refer to in the wet areas and carpet everywhere else. Before we even moved in, we had it all removed and replaced with luxury vinyl plank. Part of the reason we did that, though, is because we didn't want carpet anywhere anymore. If you like the floors as they are, you can always keep it until you either get tired of it or it begins to wear, and replace it later with whatever you want.
