Late to the convo but if you have kids/dogs I suggest LVP for practicality & so you can run it uninterrupted through the kitchen (necessary for an open-concept build).
Leave the $2 LVP for the rental suite though... that stuff is really cheap and gives LVP its bad name. There are some nicer wide & long plank LVP available in the $5-10 range that looks much better than the cheap stuff.
If you don't have kids or don't care about the damage from kids/pets, then by all means, go with hardwood or engineered hardwood.
Also, if you are redoing your entire floor aim for a smooth transition between materials (ie - floor to tile to carpet is at the same height)... that way you don't need transition strips.
