Omaha, read the warranty on the vinyl tile. Mine is starting to loose it's stick (glue) about 6 months after the warranty ran out.
I did linoleum in the laundry room, but no matter how careful I was moving the washer, I still poked a hole in it. I won't use it again. To me, being a novice at laying it down, it was a PITA. It didn't help that the room wasn't square, plus there were a lot of cut-outs.
