Hardwood is by far the nicest to look at but you have kids don't you? They will fuck it up right and good. Pets will do the same.

Ive got bamboo floors and a dog - its pretty scratched up. But a rug helps with that. (although i dont have any rugs)
The worst woukd be a pet with carpeted floors, theyd track dirt in and stain it.

We've replaced the subfloor. The walls are studs at the moment with drywall going up next week. We're at the decision time for floor coverings.
Living room, guest bedroom, office, and study.
I'd go with a mix actually. Guest bedroom should definitely be carpet. Living room should definitely be hardwood.
For the study I'd be leaning towards hardwood, possibly with an area rug.
For the office, it would depend on how you use it. Do you have clients in there ever? If so, go with hardwood. Otherwise probably a low hard carpet.

I disagree. We just moved from a place with carpet to one with hardwood and we're constantly fighting with paw prints on the hardwood. I thought it was much less hassle with carpet. On the carpet we would vacuum every 2 weeks and steam once a year. With the hardwood I'm wiping up paw prints every day or two. Though our hardwood is walnut stained even darker. It might not be so bad on a lighter colored wood with a lighter colored stain.

Hardwood everywhere with area rugs in strategic spots.

You have to deal with paw prints but sweeping it is easy and buy a shark steam mop.. Itll make it nice and shiny. You can mop it once a week.

Paul elaborated nicely on my point of too much work.
Carpet in areas that you want to be lazy in, bedrooms and such.
Hardwoods in any areas that you entertain or do business.

I have a living room, hallway and a family room ( 1400 sq ft ) that is in the process of getting laminate in it now. I bought 12mm thick stuff and the best underlayment possible ( like $60 100 sq/ft a roll stuff ).
Left carpet in the bedrooms.
I had to make sure the installers staggered the planks so it wouldn't look all uniform and it looks awesome.
