Hardwood goes the distance
One of the things that stands outmost about hardwood is the incredible lifespan that it has. That lifespan is made even longer when it is properly cleaned and maintained. You can also choose to have a protective coating applied as a top layer that will help to protect against scuffs, stains, scratches and spills.
Wood floors can also be refinished several times over the years. The refinishing process can be time consuming, and takes some preparation, but when you see the result, you will know it was worth it. Refinishing gives you a nearly like new finish once again, with many years of life ahead before the need for another refinishing.

Important note about hardwood
If you're looking for a floor choice for your basement, this is definitely not the best type to choose. In fact, it shouldn't be placed in basements at all. Due to the way it reacts to moisture and temperature changes, in a basement setting it would surely warp, bow up or even crack and split.
Engineered woods, on the other hand, make a great choice for basements. You can even choose the same species of the flooring that you have throughout the rest of your home, if you're looking for continuity. Engineered floors are still made of real woods, but only the top layer, which means they can take a lot more environmental changes than solid woods can.
