Look at the brands and find one with the thickest protective layer you can. We looked as some that I don’t think would hold up as well. And when you are installing, keep some rubber mallets around and really make sure the joints are tapped together tight. That’s my only complaint with the first section I did. I didn’t get two joints tight enough and now they open up a little bit with expansion and contraction.
Going down over old hardwood would be fine. I put it down over old tile in our kitchen and you really can’t tell.
