Bamboo is the newest toughest most renewable flooring material, fairly impervious to anything but fire. Laminate flooring is also a good bet, and available in wood plank look.

Linoleum, You can get the cheap stuff or the expensive stuff. What is important is the base under the linouleum. You should tack luan or plytwood down and fill the dents around the head of the nails and the cracks. Then sand them. You need some expansion space around the walls which is hidden with floor moulding. It looke like you will have a seam somewhere in the middle so get the material and instruction to do that right.
Once installed, you will have a waterproof, easily cleaned floor with a periodic clean and reapplication of the gloss finish if you buy the NO-Wax kind. (That shine doesen't last forever and has to be refinished now and then.) Armstrong makes the cleaner and sealer to do it.
