Took a gamble on laminate versus LVP in my basement and I'm second guessing now

I spent three weeks going back and forth between laminate and luxury vinyl plank for my basement remodel in Denver. Everyone online says LVP is the way to go for basements because of moisture... but I ended up going with laminate because it felt more solid underfoot and looked way more like real wood. Got it all installed last weekend and now I'm paranoid every time I walk down there. The subfloor is concrete and I put down a vapor barrier but I still worry one little leak from the water heater is gonna wreck everything. My buddy who did LVP in his basement said I made a mistake and should've spent the extra $400. Has anyone run laminate in a basement for more than a year and regretted it?

Honestly, same here, I was team laminate until I saw my buddy's LVP hold up in a flood.
