I like light, so my preference is the maple, but I have no idea what your home looks like (paint, furniture, cabinets) so I can't say for you.

Above poster here. The Toasted Spalted Maple is what I like.

I like the 2nd or 3rd. Bonus that they're both wood and not laminate.

Hate the super light and I hate the high gloss. High gloss is more likely to scratch more too.

Don't do laminate. It's easy but it won't hold it's value, and it'll look cheap. you may as well bit the bullet and just do linoleum squares. I like the wood or bamboo if I had to choose from these - have you looked at the bamboo that's stained darker?

It's kid durable and easy on the pocket as well as the environment and i think it'll hold its value better than any you've shown: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Home-Decorators-Collection-Hand-Scraped-Strand-Woven-Walnut-3-8-in-x-4-9-in-x-72-7-8-in-Length-Click-Lock-Bamboo-Flooring-29-86-sq-ft-case-HL272H/205124732

One of your numbers is bamboo

#2 or #3 based purely on aesthetics

OP, you need to purchase today if you plan to install on Saturday.

Your floors need to acclimate in the room they are going for 48 prior to installation.
