So far, they have held up just fine, so I will definitely stick with them because they are so much less messy and because re-seating a toilet is no problem whilst you only really get ONE shot with a wax ring.That said, of course, it will be a very long time until I can truly comment on their durability vs. a wax ring since those often last many decades.  

Buy durable, affordable, replaceable products.

It is the most durable asset.

I would think that watertight LVP would be better for pets, so maybe that is an option.I get it but tile is durable and easy to replace just one or 2 tiles.

Don't go high end finishes, keep it neutral to appeal to more people and get durable finishes.Find out how much you can borrow (don't max yourself out), get your finances in order (look at your debt).

I would do LVP. waterproof and durable, and have a shot at saving the original floors down the road if needed. 

You aren’t going to get much more durable than 4 coats of poly on oak.

Use epoxy garage floor paint on the floor for durability.

Trying to find nice looking, but also affordable & durable cabinets. 

So I want the kitchen to look good, but something durable, tenant proof and affordable is what I'm after.
