I'm on the fence with this one, too. We are turning our garage into a living area (it was too small for my pickups anyway). I would like the Pergo because of the less-echo effect (and since DH will be playing music in this room). BUT, this room is going to get dirty. And I mean, the brunt of dust storms since it is on the west side of the house. This will also end up being our main entrance for ourselves (closest to where we park out back), so that door will be opened and closed in the middle of dust storms alot. We are going with ceramic tile for the durability factor. I'll just have to put a couch and quilts to help with the echo.
