You probably want to lay the flooring the same direction in all rooms and lay it continuously through the doorways. The reason is that it looks more real when it looks as if the floor was built before the walls, as it would have been if it were original. You'd only want a transition in a doorway if you're moving to a different type of material. As long as you're laying the same color and type, then lay it all the same direction and continuously through the doors, imo.
I would probably not lay the flooring continuously between the two rooms. Leave a small gap in the middle of the doorway, and cover it with a transition piece. Better for expansion, especially in an area like a basement that is likely to have dampness issues.
The material is made to have a transition joint at the doors, then you'll have to use a transition at the doors. If you start at the door and go two directions, you'll be assembling one side backwards, that might or might not work.
