     John, 
     
     My list of Pros and Cons comes from experience  I believe we've used 'em 
     all....
     
     a.  ESD Tile Flooring
     Pro:  Looks real spiffy
     Con:  Cost more than you can imagine
     
     b.  ESD Wax, over cement flooring
     Pro:  Low cost
     Con:  Maintenance
     
     c.  ESD Paint, over cement floor - with or without wax.
     Pro:  Cheaper than tile
     Con:  Costs more than wax/maintenance
     
     We use unfinished (no wax or paint) bare concrete in our 
     assembly/manufacturing area.  When the environment is kept within 20-70% 
     humidity, our typical flooring resistivity is 10 to the 5th Ohms/sq which 
     is great to dissipate a charge to ground.  It doesn't look as sharp as the 
     ESD tile we have in another area, but it didn't cost us a dime either.
