Which brands of design flooring/laminate would you recommend to us?

Which are high-quality, have high-quality design (look similar to real wood) and have a good price/performance ratio?

Is Parador one of the best manufacturers?

Parador and HORI are good, we have those and I have personal experience. There are certainly more good manufacturers, but I have no experience with them. For the basement we have 10EUR laminate from Toom :p

The Modular One from Parador is a bit more difficult to install, it's best done with a pull bar and hammer. Design floors with click connection are easier. You simply lay them in, hit them with the palm of your hand, and done.

Which manufacturer is the best among those mentioned?

Parador, Meister or Haro?

We were at a specialty store today.

What would you say is better, laminate or design/vinyl flooring?

We didn't notice any difference in the store.

In what ways is laminate better and in what ways is vinyl better?

We are talking about both from a high-quality manufacturer, e.g., Parador or Meister.

For example, the laminate from Parador is also moisture resistant.

Both are probably similarly resistant to scratches, right?

What would you say is better for us? Laminate or vinyl?

Please do not suggest parquet.

Something basic like "Unterschied Laminat Vinyl" you can really just google. There are a thousand pages on the internet that explain it well. If someone tries to tell you that laminate is just as moisture-resistant as vinyl, then in my opinion they are lying to you.

For example, the laminate Parador Hydron is said to be protected against standing water for up to 24 hours
