Best solution for older stained floor?

[Jazz]

I'm currently in the process of a house/garage remodel. I think I've got most issues resolved other than the flooring for the garage. The house is 30 years old. The garage floor is flat, level, unpitted and has zero cracking. It has some oil and other stains however and I'd like to improve the look. I'm looking for a solution for floor covering and I don't think Racedeck is an option. Right now I'm looking at VCT, stain or epoxy. They all seem to have advantages and disadvantages.

Right now VCT seems to be where I'm leaning since it will hide the stains, is relatively cheap and easily repaired and the prep is likely less than some other options.

Any thoughts?

If you use vct, check the moisture content of your floor. Normaly this is a calcuim cholride test. Most adhesives are moisture sensitive and can fail. With the test the right adhesive can be applied. This is becoming a big issue with the low voc adhesives and vapor barriers.

VCT works, but so would epoxy. Prep isn't that much different. Stains aren't really an issue, as long as water drops are absorbed evenly and promptly the epoxy primer should adhere.
