Hi
I am in favor of the best money can buy tiles, and everything including an ESD officier and training for everyone. Long term less money is spent and ESD protection is kept high continually. Boy do I have stories like the cleaning guys who put on non conductive wax on a beautiful floor, and, and.
Of course I have often worked with products that require this level of protection, yours might not.
Get ahold of the ANSI/ESD Association standard. One I am looking at, as I type, is S20.20-1999.
One of the horror stories I know of was on a concrete floor in a rented building that had previously been used by some company that used chemicals. What the business was escapes me right now. Even though the floor was cleaned really well before the conductive epoxy was put down the concrete, which is porous, continually would let those chemicals back on up and you would have ESD breaks.
So what ever you do hire a good contractor, company or consultant that can make your cheap alternative be reliable from now, the winter, through the entire seasons.
Hopefully you are going to add Humidity.
