Carpet vs Vinyl Plank flooring in duplex bedrooms

I have an up/down duplex that needs the carpet replaced in the bedrooms of the down unit. First time doing a replacement of floor covering since I’ve owned the property. Duplex is an old house that doesn’t command high rents.

Should I replace with carpet again? Even though it’s harder to keep clean and doesn’t hold up as well?

Or I’m thinking of spending a bit more on LVP flooring with the thought of it lasting for more than a few years.

My concern with LVP would be the noise transfer to the other unit and it doesn’t seem as homey
