If you want to do something different in looks and are looking for something effortless to maintain, then the laminate is great.
Another factor should be the humidity in the area where you are doing the install. Solid woods do not handle humidity in the same way as cored or composite woods do.
A common misconception in both building products and other related areas like furniture is that solid wood is always the best material for every job. Not so. It's possible to shape and construct non-linear pieces with composites that you simply cannot do easily if at all with solid woods, and in many cases the structural integrity of composites is better than with solids.
But anyway, I'm rambling.

ok, i'm taking bets now that you copied and pasted that from somewhere and it isn't your own words. (not that it wasn't good info)
any takers?
