LVT/Vinyl plank flooring durability?

I have a couple of townhouses I'm working on and flooring will be one of the decisions. The first is for my daughter and it's on a concrete slab. She wants to do tile but the slab would need more prep due to old vinyl sheetstock glue still sticking making tile even more expensive than it inherently is.

I've used laminate in one of my other rentals and it was ok but is too susceptible to water damage. (once where a fridge leaked water in an adjacent kitchen and once when tenants left a door open during a heavy rain.)

So how durable is lvt in the floating plank variety? Anyone here with experience using it over time?
