What are the advantages/disadvantages to floating vs. glueing down an Engineered floor?

I have 4 smallish areas in my house, slab floor, that we want to change from carpet. I'm looking at Engineered (I'm an Engineer, so Engineered must be good, right?), since it will be butting up againt tile.

One area is an office and it will have office chairs rolling around. I suppose if needed, I can put a hard clear plastic over the wood area with the chairs. I was considering laminate for that area, but...

The areas are: Office, Dinning room, Bedroom, Closet. I want to note that the master-bath is between the bedroom and the closet.

Thoughts?
