The carpeted living room is mostly square with 1 funky corner at the stairwell. My laminate is at the front door, then carpet in the living room followed by laminate in the dining room and kitchen. 2 transitions in total.

Kind of depends what you're going to put down for your future flooring. Assuming it's new laminate or hardwood then you're much better off matching the additional subfloor under the existing laminate. Tile flooring likely requires more subflooring than you have anyway so adding to it would make sense.
