Hmmm... a lot of the unstained ones look nice, too!
Decisions, decisions!!
My brother just finished his oak floors, no stain. I have to say it looked very similar to my stained floors...

You people are not making it easy. 
I think I love all your floors!
Maybe this is just a sign that I'll love it no matter the finish! 
Ok I agree with this. BUT....you may NOT like them if you go too dark.
I saw on a home decorating show where they stained the floors really dark. It made the room too dark IMO, so I would wary of going too dark. Too light, ok, too dark, could make things very dreary feeling.

Not sure how well you can see them in this pic but here's a pic from Thanksgiving-time last year. We got the floors (oak) stained a java color - we LOVE it. It really warms up the rooms and also sets us apart from the other co-ops in the development (important to us for selling purposes later).
ETA: some of these pics might give you a better look (these are VERY old )

LOVE THE DARK WOOD. WHO DID THEM?

We did Mahogany stain. Love the look but it shows alot of dog hair and dust. I'm constantly going over it with a microfiber mop. I have the stain through my house in the livingroom & diningroom. Image Attachment(s):

Thanks!
After seeing all these pictures, I'm actually leaning toward a light stain or not staining them at all. I was worried about how it would look with our furniture, but I love the contrast and think it will brighten up the rooms a bit.

Re: can i see your wood floors - trying to decide on a stain
We just sanded and had the floored polyurethaned, no stain.
our old office room, now my son's room (pretty much the same for all 3 bedroom on this floor of the house)
our living room just after we had them done:
the dining room, before we painted the top part a red color:
more recent dining room, except now we have a rug under the table:

Ours were sanded and stained a cherrywood color. We have pine floors in our home (I have no idea why..) and the wood took the stain differently...some boards are different colors...but it looks great! Image Attachment(s):

We just did ours, Oak w/ Gunstock stain. Its awesome. So happy we went with a stain.
Have to get you pics.
We left the floors the way they were when we moved in. But we used Gunstock stain for our doors and trim. I love it!
