Glue down cork (never the click together in a place where there may be water spills) or LVT planks (like they have in Safeway's produce and bakery)
Cork when done correctly is beautiful, "cushiony" on the feet and feels warm. Can be a bit pricier but if a reputable company installs it can be durable and repairable if you get a scratch in it.
LVT planks if they are of better quality are fibreglass reinforced and extremely durable. Waterproof as well, if done properly. " |

Click together Allure and some others are fine for kitchens and bathrooms, its what they're designed for. Allure is made of plastic so it won't swell like many laminates will if they get wet. Allure is harder to install than traditional laminates, the grooves are smaller so you have to keep things very clean. A small speck of something in the groove will be a problem.
Dura-ceramic is another good option. They look like ceramic tiles but they're also made of non-absorbant material. They can be installed with or without grout. Both materials can be cut by scoring and snapping, curves and notches can be cut using a rotary tool.
