What about combining the best of two methods?

1. Epoxy paint and a thick (I would go 1") wooden floor.

2. If the basement isn't finshed, how about putting in some leveling strings and pouring 4" of concrete over it, with some steel nails driven in to be 1" above the current surface, to help anchor? You could even do the basement a portion at a time. Makes it less costly in one lump and enables better control. I say this because I have no help for anything, have to do it all myself.

Which is why my house is so dirty...
