Vinyl flooring for conservatory - which type?

We're planning a conservatory, and I've been looking at flooring options. Trouble is, I don't know which type would be best....
I need the flooring to be:
Suitable for under-floor heating
Hard wearing
Preferably easy to clean/take care of
Doesn't stain
Non-slip (this is important as I am disabled and have balance problems, so shiny ceramic tiles which could get slippery when wet are right out)
I am amazed by the range of vinyl floorings avaiable now, and I particularly like the bleached and white-painted wood effect ones (I figure that a white or bleached effect would be a good idea for a conservatory anyway, as anything darker is likely to fade).
I don't mind paying for quality (like Karndean/Amtico) but only if this really is worth it. If there is a better/cheaper option available then I would love to know!
So any experiences or suggestions welcome - I could really do with some common-sense MSE views on this!

Might be worth adding 'resistance to strong sun light/bleaching' to your list.
Surprising how quickly some things left in a conservatory get bleached by the intense light and heat.0 -

That's why I like the bleached wood ranges - if I get a white painted wood effect to start off with, I figure it hasn't got very far to bleach further!
