I can get interlocking 2mm engineered oak from Lumber Liquidators for $2.50 + installation. I can probably install it myself for about $1.50 sq/foot for underlayment and adhesive.
Not matter what I put down, cushioned mats are in the plan. I'm using the SAM's Club interlocking mats now and they work pretty well, which kind of raises the question - why do anything to the floor other than cover it in interlocking rubber tiles...
