If you do go the Engineered route, stay away from MDF and Particle board. The one we used was basically plywood with a hardwood top.

On concrete you have to level the floors by using a leveling compound. Then you have to use a glue that seals the concrete like a vapor barrier.

In our business, we went with floated laminate floors. Cheap, look good, stand up to traffic. If they had the vinyl stuff when we put the office together, I would have used that. It is even better looking and impervious.
