I'd probably go with low gloss sheet vinyl, maybe something representing stone tile. A more rustic irregular pattern could make imperfections in a subfloor less obvious.

I think we are settling in on free-floating LVP, after doing some reasonable effort at floor leveling.
Carpet is not ideal that is for sure. And sheet vinyl as I mentioned before would require glue-down to secure the seams.
No issue with ripping up the floating LVP at some point if we hate it. Plus, I can install this myself and save a lot of money. My neighbor stopped over last night and we tested out a few strips as a sanity check. He recently helped his son complete an LVP installation so he will be a good advisor.
I will let you know how it turns out. After all it's only $$$.
