How do you Build Shed Floor?

I am building a 20'x40' shed/workshop. I was wondering what you guys think about what would be cheaper for the floor. Can I put 6x6s on top of the gravel and do 3/4'' plywood right on top of them, without 2x6 framing, or do I have to do 2x6 framing on top of 6x6s before plywood. OR........would it be cheaper just to do concrete monolithic foundation ( 2'deep X 8'' wide and a 3''-4'' slab)?
