I've used the Allure flooring and not had any problems. Lots of people have had problems with it in high moisture situations like bathrooms and basements.
I just looked at the technical info for the Artistek flooring. The only one that has a PVC finish is the American Plank which appears to be their bottom line. The wear layer is half as thick as their mid grade products that have a ceramic bead wear layer.
The PVC has a 6 mil wear thickness and a 7 year warranty. Their mid grade has a 12 mil wear layer and 25 year warranty. Their best product has a 20 or 30 mil wear layer and a lifetime warranty.
In my experience (over 35 years in construction) you get what you pay for when you buy flooring. I suspect the labor is about the same for each grade. You still need to put down a shoe molding (if you want a professional looking job) no matter if you go with the cheap or good stuff. The prep is the same. Spend a few dollars more and get better flooring. I can't imagine putting in a hard surface floor that might only last 7 years.
There are other types of PVC flooring. There are glue down tiles that are used in high traffic commercial applications. If you do keep the house for a rental you may want to go that route since you can take up a damaged tile and replace it much easier than you can the type that partially overlap.
My advice is spend a few more dollars up front so you won't have to spend even more re-doing it in a few years.
