The most common areas for T1-11 to fail are the vertical seams where the sheets meet and the top and bottom edges where they usually don’t get primed and painted.

A mirror can be helpful for inspecting the bottom edge of the panels for the beginnings of delamination, mold or rot.

You hit some great points on carpet tile. If you’re a DIYer carpet tiles may be the ticket. However if you want a seamless look, broadloom carpet may be the look you want. Keeping in mind that seams can show there too (most broadloom is 12 ft wide).
Consider your room’s style, use, and your budget, then consider what will be best for you. Remember to always go with what you like, ’cause you’ll have to live with it.

Great, I am researching the flooring at the moment and thinking to go to costco and grab some. It is on sale for $25 a box now, just wasn’t shure how it is quality wise.

I have a question. I would like to know if I would be able to cut the pad-attached flooring with a laminate floor cutting tool. I do not like power tools and would like to use one. Do you recommend a particular brand or type of cutting tool?

I totally agree, these types of wood floors look so nice. Sounds like it would cost a lot of money though.
