Bulletproof Base Boards? What should I use

[Garrett Diegel]

We are putting in Smartcore flooring in a tri-plex This will be a  hold property at this time so we want to make it as bullet proof as possible as we renovate. We are working on one unit and adding flooring but have been advised to change our the floor / base board trim since we are doing the floor. It has old trim from 1985 so matching is not really possible. We are thinking of doing something like the rubber commercial base boards like this http://www.lowes.com/pl/Wall-base-Flooring/4294928...

What do you think would be the most versitile / bullet proof option that would go along with multiple applications. What have you used before?
