Quartz broadcast floors are more durable long term than flake floors, however flake floors are more popular today. Quartz is harder than vinyl flakes, and quartz floors, especially double broadcast floors, require more epoxy material thus making them thicker systems and more impact resistant. They are harder for do-it-yourselfers to install and you just don't see them much in this forum. Flakes are easy to install and quiet frankly require very little skill. You will be very pleased with the quartz floor.

I agree with most of what floorcoatingsguru has to say...though flake floors are easier than quartz, it takes skill and experience to properly install a full broadcast flake floor. Sure, most can roll or paint on a coat of epoxy and sprinkle a few flakes but that's not how a pro flake floor goes down.

About quartz floors, they are usually double broadcasted and are a nominal 1/8 inch thick. Single broadcasted quartz floors usually turn out blotchy and at times wavy.
