Post Choosing flooring for my sewing room

So I've invited some friends from church over for a sewing/quilting night at my house.
My dh has offered to rip out our old carpeting (original to the house & worn down by dogs and our 3 kids for 12 years) and put in new flooring. We have 3 weeks until the get together. We work full time, so basically have 3 Saturdays.

My 3 choices: wood, vinyl wood look planks, carpet tiles.

My concerns: Cost-- the room is 396 sq feet.
Durability-- how will it stand up to rolling chairs? Vinyl and wood will scratch w/o plastic
mat. Will plastic mat change finish or color of floor beneath it?
Practicality-- the carpet tiles wouldn't have issues with the chairs; I'd have to watch
for threads when vacuuming. I'm constantly picking them out now from rolling brush
now. I'd still probably need a mat to roll between machines.
Time to install.

Thoughts and suggestions, please

I am super laid back so the thought of random multi-colored carpet tiles does appeal to my love of color and creative quirky side. My walls are all white.
