I'm in the process of research this myself, but here's what I know thus far. -Most of the information I've read recommend putting in a subfloor. You can put styrofoam insulation down on the floor, build a 2x4 frame (much like a stud wall only laying on the floor), and then lay down a plywood subfloor. This now really lets you pick and choose what you want. You could go hardwood, but I'd probably avoid that because the humidity in the air will still affect the wood. Engineered Hardwood is an option, as is carpet, tile or linoleum. The disadvantage to this is the expense and also the fact that you will lose some height in the room.

What best flooring can install over ceramic?
Many things can go over ceramic with ease, but the "best" option is one which works in the room you're doing. For example, laminate flooring is most forgiving of the unevenness (groutlines) of ceramic tile and easiest to install - but I would not put laminate in a bathroom (it's not moisture resistant). For a bathroom, the best option over ceramic is sheet vinyl. Be sure to use leveling compound to smooth grout lines even with the surface of tiles first.

Can you install wood flooring in the basement?
Yes, you can...provided that there is not a water nor moisture issue. If the basement is below grade (i.e. beneath the ground), then you need to use an engineered hardwood (rather than solid hardwood). Some engineered hardwoods can be glued and others click into place. It's best to consult a flooring professional on best structure/installation method and whether floor prep is needed (since many basements are uneven). Oops...I forgot to sign in. Engineered hardwood is real (and not be confused with laminate which is fake).
