Basement flooring

Dh and I need to redo the basement do to a flood. I know we can't put in hardwoods since its a high moisture area. Does anyone have suggestion on flooring or have pictures of what they've done?

Re: Basement flooring

Our basement flooded, floor to ceiling after Sandy. We opted to do tiling. We went to Lowe's and got a great deal on tiles for 58 cents a pop. DH installed it himself (its not a large basement) and did the grouting, spacing, etc. (I'd post pics but I am at work). It was a labor intensive task since DH had to strip the old paint from the floor and sand it down to level the uneven sections.

Before Sandy, we also had flooding from Irene - and after Irene, we just painted the floor and put carpet tile on top.

I think tile is best as its easy to clean due to any potential flooding and doesnt absorb moisture.
