What's a good flooring choice for kitchens and baths in rentals?

Don't do vinyl, it screams cheap and very 1980'ish.

If you are landlord you will know that renters will not pay extra for upgraded flooring.

If you are shopping for potential rental property you will also note that the majority of places that have CLEAN flooring are more desirable to other investors than any other attribute -- a CLEAN floor indicates less potential for BUGS and other persistent problems.

Seamless vinyl has improved signficantly since it was first introduced in the 1950s/60s and is a durable and attractive solution to provide tenants with a low maintence comfortable finish flooring surface. There are many attractive styles that are appropriate for even pretty high-end rentals.

As a renter, I don't think too much about what the bathroom flooring is; if it's clean and a neutral color I don't even notice it, which is a good thing!

Sheet vinle has come a long way. I use it in both my rentals. A little clue around the edges and move on. If it ever needs replacing it will be easy to remove and cheap enough to do so. The tile is for the long haul but is expensive and not easy to replace most of the time.

Are you at least going to use adhesive?
