Staining depends on the tile.
Ceramic tile is easy to find in many colours & patterns, cheap, not real strong, so better have a very flat floor, as it is more prone to breakage. Great choice for large areas if money is a major factor.
Porcelain tile is stronger than ceramic, so a little more costly. The better choice for a large area if you can spare just a few extra pennies.
Natural stone tiles, slate, granite, travertine, marble, etc., are usually the most costly, and are easy to stain if not sealed. Urine is highly reactive with most natural stones and will permanently stain if not cleaned up quickly.
I'm an avid DIYer and have worked with all of the above. You have to remember with any tiles, grout lines are a highly porous area for moisture. I'd recommend sealing grout lines. Alternately, there are some great epoxy type grouts, but they do have a higher learning curve and might prove a challenge to an amateur grouter as they have a much shorter work-time than standard sand-based grouts. Laticrete Spectralock is my favourite.
