I have 4 years on cherry floors, holding up well. The cost difference between getting 3/4” solid wood installed via a nail-down installation on 750sf was only marginally more than doing a floating install with an engineered material (you don’t have to purchase the underlay, just a thin vapor barrier material.) You can also refinish them repeatedly.
I wouldn’t make a crazy investment on flooring unless you go with a more classic look. All these scraped hardwood / patterned / rustic floors are really in vogue right now but probably won’t be in 10 years, at which point it’s another gut job.
Edit: what I mean is that by the time most flooring is worn out, style has changed anyways and you might as well replace it to update the house’s look.

Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.
