Preparing My Home to Rent Out...Questions

Looking to prepare my home to rent out. 

Currently kitchen, laundry and downstairs bathrooms have linoleum floors, except master bath and walk in closet has carpet. Very worn out carpet in all bedrooms, stairs and upstairs main area. Living room and dining area has laminate flooring.

So my question or thoughts:

1. Is it good idea to install wood laminate flooring throughout rest of home except bathrooms, laundry and kitchen.  I am considering this so I do not have to deal with carpet cleaning or replacement as tenants move in and out. 

2. Or wood laminate only high traffic areas like stairs and upstairs main area and replace carpet in the bedrooms.

3. Install ceramic tile in all areas that have linoleum (bathrooms, kitchen, laundry)? Or leave the linoleum?

I do want to replace carpet in master bath with tile. 

Thoughts?

Vic
