Having put in several types of floors, here's my opinion.
1. Laminate - not good. Even the expensive stuff. There are voids between each piece that the urine can get into. It will buckle the cheap stuff quick. If it doesn't buckle the expensive kind, it will absorb the smell.
2. Tile - Cold, yes, but that's not the main problem. The grout absorbs the urine and can change colors because of it. Again, no way to get the odor out. However, it would be my second choice. I am planning to try and seal my floor tile with polyurethane, something I've never tried before, but hoping to have good results.
3. Laminate - also absorbs odors. It is more porous than you think. Good thing about it is it's cheap and can easily be replaced if you don't use an over abundance of glue. Bleach removes majority of odor - my first choice.
4. After hearing about the carpet samples, I'd probably be tempted to try it.
Best of luck to you.
