Laminate is not waterproof. It's plastic over a fiber board (mdf or hdf) core. Does not look or feel like wood. If it gets wet and swells, the product is ruined.
Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) can be waterproof. It still has seems, so water can get through, though the product will be fine. Some will have cork backer boards built in that are mostly water resistant, but still a wood product and can rot. Does not look or feel like wood.
Porcelain tile is waterproof, but the grout is not. You can waterproof the subfloor/backer board below for actual waterproofing, like for a shower. You can buy "wood look" tiles, but it will not feel like wood.
Bamboo is not waterproof. Bamboo is not wood, it's a grass, but feels more like wood. Bamboo will swell and buckle with water.
Engineered wood is plywood with a fancy veneer. It is wood. But not waterproof. And not a solid piece. It will look and feel like hardwood. It will handle moisture better than solid hardwood, but can still swell.
Solid hardwood is wood. Will not do great with water/moisture. Looks and feels like wood. Because it's wood.
If waterproof is a must, say for a bathroom, go with LVT or porcelain tile. There are "wood look" products that look good, but not many people will mistake it for actual wood. If you want wood look and feel, get actual wood.
Your quote seemed high for material and install. Shop around or looks for less expensive woods.
Or DIY it. It's not rocket surgery.
