any pole barn experts on here ?

So this coming Tuesday we have the closing for our retirement house , it has everything except a shop building . It would appear that a pole barn is the best bang for the buck .
I would want to enclose the pole barn and here is my main question. It looks like the " strength " of the pole barn is setting the poles deep in the ground . Makes perfect sense . But I want a concrete floor , do you still go with poles in the ground with a concrete floor ? Or do you set the posts on the concrete after is is poured ?
If you go with the poles in the ground do you pour the concrete after it is built and pour the concrete floor around the poles ?
It is in Georgia so not much concern about frost heaving it's more about stability and longevity . I have also not ruled out a metal framed building . I'm thinking of 24 x 24 or 24 x 26 in size with 10 ' walls and enough overall height to house a 2 or 4 post lift . Buying the house has consumed a good chunk of my " play " money so looking for the best bang for the buck . Thanks in advance .
