Best Vinyl Plank Flooring Value

[David M.]

Replacing the nasty carpet in my C-D neighborhood 3 BR, 2 BA single-family house. Rents for $675, and we got into it for $20k, so I'm not looking for luxury vinyl flooring. I do, however, want something that will be durable for multiple moves, pets, kids, etc. I'm worried that the Allure vinyl flooring with the grip strips (instead of click-locking systems) may not hold up as well over time. 

Any tips? Also, an unrelated item: where is the best place to post on the forums to get referrals for reliable handymen in the Cincinnati, Ohio area? Thanks!
