Epoxy-coat Question

I'm in the final stages on deciding on a epoxy flooring system for my garage. :)

I'm having a real hard time deciding between Epoxy-coat.com and Wolverine Coatings. Leaning towards Epoxy-coat however I would like to know what is recommended for filling the expansion joints, and how to deal with the foam board around the walls. I understand for Wolverine the thing to use is Integraflex but that doesn't seem to be as obvious for Epoxy-coat.

Any help is appreciated!

I just finished my floor last weekend using Epoxy-Coat. I filled the control joints with plain old painters caulk. I used 3/16" clothes line for backer rod. I epoxyed over to the foam around the perimeter of my shop stopping at the foam leaving a 1/2" or less between the epoxy and the block foundation. Then I came back over the top of the foam with a DAP concrete crack filler to seal the between the epoxy and the block.

You can fill the cracks or expansion joints with an acrylic caulk. jlansaw sounds like he did a good job on his.
