Not cost saving upfront, but is long term if you ever have problem with "light" water (like < 1/4" ): Put Dri-Core subflooring down. Runs about $1 a sq foot on sale in 2x2 squares.

Dri-Core at home centers = 2'x2' plywood squares with plastic bumps on the bottom to keep it raised...

I've seen Dri-Core at the home centers, two problems... there is no moisture barrier at the seams, ITS EXPENSIVE.

Instead use its commercial equivalent. You roll down the plastic (4-5 foot wide) and tape/seal the seams. Then put down a floating plywood floor(which you can tile or carpet) or just a laminate/hardwood(like pergo) flooring.
(Lowes carries a version with a fabric barrier for foundation drainage)

Here are a few types...

Since I've decided to add on to the house, the man cave will be built for soundproofing. I will be spending a pretty penny on sound proof insulation and the works. As of now, the home theater sound system can shake the windows of my friends place 3 houses away I want to be able to crank it all the way up and walk outside to hear a mouse fart in the woods.
