VCT vs SnapTiles - Seam Problems

I am trying to decide what type of flooring to put down.

I like the idea of VCT except for the slippery ness of it. We live in a cold climate area and get snow and ice drug in during the winter months.

The repairability of the snap type tiles is interesting, but I am curious about getting typical liquids on the tile and it penetrating the seams. Does this style flooring collect water under the tile? What about an oil leak or spill getting into the seams.

The benefit of the Plastic tiles is the textured finish.

Has anyone used the Armstrong Safety Zone Tiles. Are they slip resistant or is it hype? Are there alternatives?

Thanks for any input

Paul

They are much more slip resistant than regular VCT, but a lot more expensive . Lowes/Home Depot sells the VCT for .68 each. IIRC the Safety Zone sells for 1.50/2.00 sq/ft.
