You already have your answer--but hardwoods. HANDS DOWN!!!! Or tile. Or lamanite. But NOT carpet!

OMG they are great for cleaning. Don't get an odor in them. You can actually pick up the tumbleweeds by hand if you don't have time to run a vacuum.

You probably wouldn't be able to do this, but my parents live in NM and have BRICK floors throughout their entire house, except the bedrooms. My mom needed something my grandmother could get over easily with her walker, but that was not slippery in the least. The brick has been perfect. Plus, it goes amazingly with the Northern NM arcitecture of the house.
