Glue down vinyl VS click/lock vinyl plank (in section 8 rental)?

What have you done?

glue down or (peel and stick): 

        PROs:  1. If there were a leak in the house, mop it up. 2. Easier to replace damaged pieces.

        CONs: 1. More difficult to put down. 2. Harder to replace the whole floor years later.

click and lock:

      PROS  1. Easier to put down.  2. Typically, more durable.

      CONS: 1. More expensive. 2. Have to take the floor up to replace a damaged piece.  3. If there was a water leak, would have to take it all up to dry it out. 

THANKS for you input!
