I’d agree with floating LVT. Hard wearing, different surface textures as preferred.
It can still mark/scratch (grit caught under sofa feet etc) so spinning on a stiletto heel is going to cause some wear.
I have quickstep Alpha in our main living space, it’s looking almost as good as new (with the kids dragging chairs, tables, gymnastic bar, toys about).
Also they provide instructions for repair of scratches and replacement of individual tiles, which I expect applies to other brands of LVT also.

Amtico Click or similar floating LVTs go down very easily DIY and will hold up just as well and be less slippy than wood laminate.
You can cut it with a £50 guillotine and it comes with soft underlay bonded to the back so will go straight on to concrete.
You’ll lay your room in a day no bother.
Only needs a 2mm expansion gap so the beading you put around the edge looks less clunky than wood laminate too.
It’s bloody practical stuff, even if it won’t get you in the architecture thread.
