First of all, if you remove the asbestos do so wearing a good quality dust mask. And yes, I would certainly remove it. Like you say, there is that resale-thing to consider.
Then for what you choose I'm going to go all out on a limb: how long do you intend to be in that house? If it's a long time, go for a better quality option. If you say - well, I can see us moving in 5 or 10 years, I would not spend a lot of money on it; leave that improvement to the next owner.
We have something on our house that looks just like that engineered wood and it has been here a long time.
