@Canel Cole welcome to BP.  The quality of flooring or anything else is determined by the condition of the competitions houses.  An extremely nice house may require hardwood floors or Italian marble.  Other areas may have 79 cents per sq foot carpet or rolled linoleum.  Your market controls.  I have started moving into snap together vinyl floors with long term warranties.  They are easy to install, cannot be damaged by water, and look pretty nice.  Good luck either way.
