It depends what they want to spend and the structure. A textured tile is nice but unless you have a 1/4 to 3/8 inset it can go into, you have a trippy lip even with the transition tile strip. I have a nice section of vinyl flooring in the foyer of my house. It is all one piece so clean up is a breeze and I keep a cheap flat rug from Walmart on it so I can clean it when needed. When my vinyl gets worn or I want a new pattern it is pretty inexpensive and simple to replace.
