We did the laminate flooring after repairing two soft spots in the floor, one of which was near the door. The door soft spot was caused by the underlayment not resting on the side framing, i.e. the edge of the underlayment wasn't supported. Sistered in another 1" by 3" to support the edge. We went with laminate because the vinyl shrunk a good 1" TO 1 1/2" and couldn't be reused.
Here is a picture of the new laminiate:
We also replaced the plastic molding with cherry quarter round moulding.
There was a thread on here about removing replacing a dinette with table and chairs. Try searching the mods section.
