It's not so much a question of what is better - laminate or vinyl (plank or sheet), but what types of flooring are applicable to your situation.While quality laminate (AC3 - AC5) offers a "good looking", functional floor for the price, it does not handle moisture well and can be noisy for tenants below (depending on the sound deadening measure taken in the floor/ceiling boundary).Vinyl tends not to mimic wood as well as laminate {if that is the look you seek}, but it is non-organic, so a good fit for humid or wet areas (bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, direct over slab, etc).

You typically will not get dollar for dollar in value; however over time you should recoup the cost and more by curing some functional obsolescence.
