LVP - thin with 12 mil wear layer or thick with 6 mil wear layer?

[Andrew S.]

Good morning,

I'm looking at putting vinyl planks in an upstairs unit in a quadplex (someone lives below).  Location is Montana so they'll be walking in with wet/ snowy shoes. 

I'm debating between:
HD Lifeproof flooring - 7mm product thickness with a 6 mil wear layer  $3.20 list price, I'll get it quoted, probably can get $2.60/2.80 per sq ft

National Builders Choice - 4.5mm product thickness with 12 mil wear layer   $2.60/ sq ft from local flooring company

Does the 7mm vs 4.5mm dampen much more noise?  Both have a built-in underlayment

I assume the 12 mil wear layer will be noticeably more wear resistant than 6 mil. 

Curious what other experience has shown? Thanks!
