Laminate looks really good. In some of my apartments, I have started to use resilient tile. Wood patterns available and come in 6" x 36" strips. It has a glue edge on one end and one side. Lay it down, cut it with a razor knife, pull the protective paper off the glue edge and your done. 100% water proof, no backing needed, substrate does not have to be perfect and wears well. Since it is basically a PVC product, there is no warpage, shrinkage or joints to separate. And added bonus, it's cheap.
A caution about laminates, too. Some are not sealed on the reverse surface and this can lead to a lot of problems when humidity and/or water are present. Even some of the common laminates and higher-end flooring products have no sealing in the joint. If you think that water is going to be on the surface, it's best not to use these. I've found that I can actually shower, shave, or do the dishes without a whole lot of water on the floor, YMMV. ;)
