We installed floors about 8 years ago. We went with engineered because it is wood over concrete. We tested the concrete for moisture and found 95% of the floor was fine, and fixed the drainage issue next to the bedroom. Real hardwood does not work well over concrete. We used the same floor up our stairs in the front hall so everything matched.

If we were in a conventional house with wood-subflooring, I would have gone with standard hardwood flooring.
