Engineered bamboo would probably be your most durable type of bamboo floowing for its stronger coinstruction.

You also want to choose an upper end one with a more durable wear layer, usually the most expensive in any manufacturers line.

Most consumers choose bamboo for the light weight and aesthetics.

There are some with tougher wear layers, the base construction is a softer wood and ultimate durability will always be based on the hardness of any wood, although the wear layer helps considerably.

The nature of bamboo is it is a soft product compared to oak and will get *distressed* over time unless alot of care is taken in not dropping anything on it.

The nature of any natural wood floor is that will get mildly distressed over time, needs upkeep in maitenance, and servicing to repair any areas you want to keep the perfect new look.

Wood enhances with age and the distresses are a part some people prefer over time.

I know there are a lot of choices that can be confusing.

Take your time, dont rush it, as salesmen and manufacturers as many questions as you can think of to narrow down your search.

Make a checklist of pro's and con's.

Remember this is a considerable investment and time researching and getting exactly what you want and VALUE, will be worth your efforts.
