Make sure you are not getting cabin grade. You get what you paid for. LL might be cheap, just make sure you know exactly what you are getting.
Talk to your installer in detail and make it clear as to what it is that you want. My installer always gets my floor. Spec out the floor and have them get it. it usually comes out to be about the same because they get it at a discounted rate. My advice is to have them get the floor leveler because they are use to working with a certain materials. They can do it in their sleep.
Personally, I like the 1/2" to 3/4" solid floor. Rift White Oak, or Maple floor are my favorite. Glue to concrete slab or install over a sub floor. I DO NOT like floating floors or floors that are 3/8" thick. Engineering floors are OK, but not my first choice. Just think, you don't see them making gyms out of engineering flooring, do you? At least I don't know of any.
