Shiva,A couple things to consider; Installation costs & maintenance for upkeep and repair Noise ( certain types of flooring are extremely loud)Real hardwood -one of the more expensive options -installation is time consuming as it has to be nailed down and then sanded/finished -biggest benefit in my opinion is that if your floors get trashed at some point you can always sand them down and re finish them Vinyl Flooring -cheaper than real hardwood -easier to install ( you can either glue it down or float it) - takes abuse fairly well especially moisture -while you can’t refinish vinyl if you float the flooring it’s very easy to pull it up and replace
