I have a flooring business and what we've seen as the better combination is some sort of hard surface on everything but the bedrooms. Most people end up getting carpet in the bedrooms and doing laminate everywhere else. Laminate scratches easy though. SPC Flooring is really popular too since its hard, durable and waterproof but it is a little bit more expensive then laminate. SPC flooring has been a favorite of mine because of the easiness of installation and its durability.
Carpet tends to be cheapest alternative but it has its obvious downsides. I've seen renters mess up all types of flooring from laminate, carpet, engineered floors, LVT, hardwood etc. I'd say go for the SPC flooring on everything if your budget allows it. If not, go for SPC where possible and carpet the rest.
