I have engineered bamboo floating floor. It was closer to high end, about $5/sq ft, from Home Depot but is no longer carried. When we tested it there it was the most scratch resistant. We literally scraped our keys on samples. I have 3 dogs and it has held up better than what I assume were oak hardwood floors I had with dogs in CA. Pretty happy with it overall. Go online and order samples or terragren and others and see which scratches the least. I have no buckling anywhere, but some spots show little bubbles where dogs peed and it wasn't caught to clean up right away. I'm in Seaview where it is less humid than a lot of Puna.
