What to put on basement floor?

[Minna Reid]

I am finishing a room in the basement and can't decide what to put down for a floor. I'd really like to do tile, as its cheap and easy for me to put it, looks great, and if water got in ever, so what?
But would that just be too cold for a basement? Think buyers would be turned off? (radiant floor heat is absolutely not in the budget)
I personally abhor carpet, and I'm sick of laminate plus it may get moist. Sticky tile would work, but that just looks so cheap. Any ideas?
