We've got beech coloured floating floors which hubby installed himself. We paid something like $60-70 per sqm. They have a nice shine to them. You have to look after them really carefully as they scratch easily. We have a few scratch marks which i am really peeved about because of the dogs. I guess all timber will scratch and dint no matter if it is floating floors or timber.
My advice would be not to go for a dark Jarra colour as you can see the dust on them when the light hits them. My friend has dark coloured timber installed and she regrets it as they need a clean almost daily.
I agree about the dark coloured wood. We had it when I was a kid and my mother hated the way it showed dust.
Lamnate flooring is good, I like the look of it and it's easier to maintain than floorboards. However you have to be really careful not to spil liquid on them as they can warp.
