Whole house or specific rooms? Is your priority looks, price or durability? Are you DIY-ing or using an installer? For home or for sale?

I've lived with both, I like both so for me it would come down to aesthetics and price. Vinyl feels a bit softer and easier for pets to walk on, if that is something to consider. You can clean it easily with a mild detergent so makes it easier to do the whole house in one mopping session. Hybrid has a slight plastic-y feel and our dog can't get a good grip on it. You mop with hot water only - no detergents. Looks more like real timber than vinyl but it is still obviously fake. It gets damaged from things getting dropped, spiky heels etc.

only living areas like lounge and entrance hall way, thanks

Indoor pets vinyl can win. Got pool and coming in wet feet. Vinyl. Otherwise prob hybrid. But depends on budget too. Have a look at both

I have vinyl planks throughout the entire downstairs of a house. Ive come from a house with real wood which would always be my preference. The vinyl def doesn’t look real but it is seamless throughout laundry,powder, kitchen, entry, lounge and L/D/K. It is very easy to clean and feels nice underfoot. It seems unbothered by pets, kids and shoes. My advice would be to bed or buy a box of your final choice of product and actually try it out in real rooms and light. I don’t love the colour I choose but that’s on me, even though I used many samples etc. I have seen reports of people having their vinyl discoloure but after two years that hasn’t been a problem for me.
