I’ve always heard to never caulk the baseboard (or shoe molding) to the floor. Something about too much movement between these surfaces causing caulking to crack/separate). (Except, I think, in bathrooms, for purposes of keeping water on the floor from getting underneath). The alternative to shoe molding would be to pull the baseboards and scribe them to the floor (basically trace the contour of the floor and shave off the bottom edge so it sits tight against the floor). Also agree shoe molding looks much better than quarter round.
