You might consider dropping the interior slab slightly below the top of the foundation wall... say, 1" at the (back) end and sloping it about 1/8" per foot down toward the door to drain.
If you ever contemplate spraying/washing/squeegeeing the floor in the future.
So the drywall is up off the floor.
