We installed laminate (not Pergo but similar) in our kitchen a few years 
ago and I would not do it again. It's almost certain you'll have a water 
spill at some point. The joints around the sink area on ours swelled and 
it's not repairable as far as I can tell (or could tell - we sold the 
house).

Others may have different opinions...
