Flooring advice
I am working on a fix and hold project and need to make some flooring decisions. I generally use contractors or labor to do the work and I provide the materials. No sense paying them to go and pick up the materials and charge me for it.
I have found at LOWES and Home deopt, regularly mark down tiles to well below a $1sq ft. This is my preference, tile lasts and single tiles can be replaced.
I have been told that roll linoleum is a better way to go. People have also advise me to use the peel and stick squares.
What is the best balance for short term cost and long term durability?

Personally I would use tile or mid to high grade laminate if you want long term durability. I think your idea of discounted tile is the way to go, get the durability you want at a discounted price.
Hope this helps.
