My thoughts exactly. And if it happens to flood down there, cement is easiest and cheapest to clean. We had laminate in our kitchen for 10 years and it was durable and easy to clean, but to drop something on it is so loud! A penny, a pair of scissors, a roll of tape, a ruler, and let's not get me started on the dog's nails. And laminate can be slippery. Cement has a bit more traction.
