Tile and carpet?

I'm thinking of going with a combination of racedeck or swiss trax under the the cars in my remodeld garage (approx. 20' deep x 24' wide) and then some heavy duty indoor/outdoor carpet for the workbench area (approx 7' wide x 16 deep). Anybody done a combination like this? Does not having the tile go all the way across the floor mean that it would be likely to shift/slide around?

Also, aside from preferences about color/tread, and assuming prices are close, is there any reason to choose racedeck over swisstrax or vice versa? I hear swisstrax is less likely to be stained by high-perf tires. My one car with Z rated tires lives on the driveway while its elders get the garage, but it occasionally come inside for oil changes etc. Also, swiss trax is available with a sound-deadening underlayment. On the other hand, seems like people with race deck are pretty happy with it.

I like the carpet under the bench area. What about using those carpet squares that they use in office buildings? This way, if you spill something nasty on one, you can replace it without having to redo the entire thing.
