Flooring Choices for a really basic fix and flip...Factory Seconds Engineered Hardwood?

My wife and I are starting our first ever fix and flip!  This is a minor job (paint, drywall repair, removing mirrored wall and wallpaper and flooring).  The kitchen is very dated, but in excellent repair, so we though we would leave it. There is lots of wood in the house (kind of unusual for a Central Florida home) so we don't want to go overboard with the renovation, the new owner may want to do something more drastic and the house is in very good condition.  That being said, here is our flooring debate:

1. Install some really cheap carpet, so that the home is move in ready, but could be customized by the new owner if they so desired, and they wouldn't feel guilty about removing the flooring.

2.  Install some inexpensive Factory Seconds Engineered Hardwood. I found a place called Reallycheapfloors.com that has some great deals.  Has anyone ever used them specifically, or factory seconds engineered hardwood in general

3. Install laminate flooring

This is a 1500 sqft 2/2 in the Metro Orlando area, block home built in 1984.

Any advice or help would be appreciated.  Thanks!
