I HATE carpet. I really, really do.

Our old house had all hardwood floors (Oak), and with as many as four big dogs, they never scratched it. We had it refinished when we bought the house and it had a very hard finish on it. It was perfect!

This house is almost all carpet, with one room (my office) with a wood floor, and the kitchen and hallway are Pergo. My only problem with the Pergo is that it seems to be much more slippery than hardwood was. But it is certainly durable and easy to clean up. When I have the funds, carpet will be coming up in the whole downstairs and hardwood installed. With multiple dogs and kids, I think it is the best way to go.
