My recommendation would be to google up a site that sells flooring. You will probably find more information from the advertisements than you will easily get via scientific research. (this is how I learned about the properties of rubber "o-rings" and the merits of different kinds of glues and sealants when working on a water tank project in college)

The differences are in appearance and durability and price, but they aren't usually structurally significant. Some might be too heavy for multistory buildings perhaps.
