Flooring for new pup

[negrilbaby]

We're hoping to get a puppy in the summer and have started to clear out and prepare the house!
We are removing the tired old carpet from the dining room and want to replace with a more suitable covering.
I want to get engineered wood flooring but DH thinks a wood style laminate would be more practical - costs are pretty much the same. Can I ask for peoples views? What would you choose?
