I love hardwoods best, but laminate and tile are nice, too. I hate linoleum with a fiery hate. And carpet is just not a possibility for someone with serious dust and pet allergies - trading in carpeting for hardwoods has enabled us to keep our two cats. We still have carpet in the guest room and office, and my allergies are noticeably worse in those rooms.
Anybody ever tried bamboo floors? They're supposed to be as durable as hardwoods but from a more renewable source.
Edit: Forgot to sing the praises of stained concrete floors. My boss has those in her bedroom and bathroom, and they're gorgeous! They're stained a sort of reddish-brown and polished, and they have heating elements running through them so they are nice and toasty for the tootsies, especially in the bathroom.
