What is the ideal living space flooring for a high end rental?

[David Easley]

My wife and I are planning to move across town and turn our current house into a rental. The rental market in our neighborhood seems to be strong and it is higher end so should have solid tenets. Unfortunately (or not) we had a water leak that damaged our hard wood floors and will require them to be replaced on the insurance companies dime. Open concept floor plan. Flooring covers foyer, dining room, and living room.

Question: This neighborhood will demand hardwood or an equivalent.  Thoughts on the ideal flooring for a high end rental house? Alternatives to HW? Colors/types of hardwood that will hold up well?
