As a Recovery Room RN, I have taken care of several patients that had to have needles surgically removed form their feet because carpet holds needles in an upright position. :(:(:(
I have hardwood in my sewing room and would never do carpet in one. When a needle falls on a hardwood floor, it lays on it's side until you pick it up and it is easily visible...unlike on carpet.

I have wood floors, and it is great. I use an office chair as I am disabled, it makes it easier to roll along when I am at my quilting frame, carpet would not allow that, plus it is easier to keep clean. Any hard surface flooring would be good. IMHO.

In my last sewing room, I had carpet and I liked it fine. My only problem was that I had to spend lots of time cutting threads from the roller of my vacuum cleaner. Now I have a sewing room with wood floors. I think I like the wood best; but I sometimes drop my scissors and have had them make dents in my flooring which is not good for the floor; but I suspect it is even worse for the points of my scissors. Best wishes in selecting your new flooring.
