Is pvc the best tile to use on cement basement floor?

It will be cold to the touch as would ceramic or porcelain tile. Before you think of tiling you need to test the floor for moisture. Take a piece of clear plastic sheeting about 12x12 and tape it to the floor with duct tape. Let it sit over a few nights and check to see if there is condensation on the underside of the plastic. If there is condensation tiling is not a good choice at all. I have installed some sub-flooring material that works well in moisture situations. It is a thick bubble wrap like material with OSB attached on the top. The bubble wrap gives moisture a place to go and to evaporate. The OSB gives a good surface for laminates, carpet or even tile.
