I'm not sure about specific 'types' as such, but I would strongly recommend getting a bit that's big enough to be laid in one single piece. Tiles do peel up at the edges and the more seams you have, the harder it is to keep clean. Far easier to stick one piece down with double sided carpet tape and seal the edges with a silicone type sealant.
Depending on the hutch size you might find someone with an offcut, so there's no harm in asking! The trouble is most shops leave the small offcuts at the customer's house when they fit the flooring, they sell bigger offcuts. It might be worth asking on freecycle or having a look on ebay. I recently got a new 7*5 piece of lino on ebay for £6.50 including delivery because it had a slight crease in it which meant that the shop couldn't sell it.
