Thanks all, for the opinions. #5 is really starting to grow on me. I wanted a design with just a bit of black since I do travel on gravel pretty regularly, the dust is an issue. I also wanted a pattern that would still be a bit noticable when the cars are parked.
I would like to recommend the Dynotile.com site for their floorbuilder. I like that it tells you the number of each color tile you will need for your pattern. There are no Dynotile dealers near me, so I'm not sure how cost effective it would be to buy their tile.
Here's option 5 with a bit of interest added to the center section, still playing with the final plan, obviously!

Another vote for number 5. Everything else is too busy or has too much black (leaves underside of vehicle very dark for maintainence).

Well, thanks all for the votes. I'm going with #5. I will have to do a bit of research on which brand. Most companies only offer 1 shade of grey, not 2, so that may alter my plan a bit. When I decide on which brand I'll post and see what y'all think of the plan in the actual colors offered.
I'll definately do a thread with pics of my install and finished floor. Then comes the really hard work, adding the grill kitchen and knocking into the side wall.
I'm getting really psyched to get started!

I went with a mixture of option 4 and 5, the right side of my garage is similar to 4 with the 2ftx2ft b&w pattern and the right side is similar to 5 with all white under the lift to reflect as much light as possible when working under the car.

You can see some pics at http://www.singercars.com/racedeck/ I like it very much although now with 2 lifts in the garage you almost can't see the floor, I would still do it all over again.

mikeyr, thanks for the great link to your pics. I love your setup and the way you did the tiles. I have had a few people tell me to add red, but since I have worked so hard to eliminate as much red as I could from my MINI and other vehicles I'm not going to. But your pics almost made me knuckle under!!
(Absolutely no dislike of red, I LOVE red, which is why I'm trying to not use it in my garage because my house has too much already!)
Scott, I'm glad you like 5, too. Hopefully I'll love it when I get to it!
