I did a room similarly at our old house, but I used MDF cut in 4x4 sheets. I used screws with finishing washers on the edges. Made for a cool look. I could have routered the edges to give it a better look. It was cool until my father-in-law and wife painted over the screws and washers while I was away! WTF...
If needed, you can use 1x1's between the floor joices and the MDF or what every you want to use. Plywood could be cool when stained...but it can be expensive to do the whole basement with plywood.
Think of it as would paneling for your ceiling!
