Holmes on Homes says never to put hardwood in the basement.. if you get any kind of moisture or whatever the floor can buckle and then your doors wont open/close, etc. Maybe talk to a good contractor for flooring material advice for basements..

I did the walls in my basement but left the floor bare concrete because I ran out of money, and I dont want to put carpet down in case I get water in it (but my house is 60 years old).
