Please help me with my flooring decision

I am in the middle of installing over 3,000 sq ft of new flooring in a clients house. At first she wanted tile floors but that is not popular in our region. The cost of tile installation is very high compared to engineered hardwood or luxury vinyl. About $6/ft compared to $3/ft. When you have 3,000 sq ft that adds up. Also, it’s difficult to get tile perfectly flat between the pieces and if the grout is not perfectly flush between each piece of tile it’s a cleaning nightmare. As soon as there is a groove between tiles, very hard to get the grooves clean

This client is not driven by cost decisions. But she choose the luxury vinyl over beautiful hardwood for wear and tear reasons. Lots of dirt and dogs.

It looks beautiful and is a perfect color to hide dirt. I don’t really like the reddish stained doors and trim with the floors, but one battle at a time
