I think one of the biggest advantages is that if you damage or wear a section, you can replace just that section or tile, like interlock rather than redoing the whole floor.
And if you need to as you cars may change, you can change colors in certain areas as the need arises.
My neighbor is ready to redo his epoxy after 8 years.

I've had racedeck for 2 years in my Michigan garage, We have constant snow/salt/slush in the winter. It melts and drains under into our bay drains. 4 post lift sits right on top of the tiles no issues. Highly recommend. My epoxy quote was almost 2x the cost of my racedeck tiles, and I doubt it would survive 10 years of abuse.

I have racedeck in a rental and it works fine for what it is. I did some fancy metallic color swirly epoxy thing in my house and while it looks good it is overkill. Next time I'm just going to seal the floor with a high quality high voc sealer. I did that in the basement and much prefer the natural look. It may not be as protected but think it would do the job for 90% of people.

Racedeck does just sit on top of the floor, so has a slightly loose sound when walking on it, which may bother you. Personally, I prefer the professionally installed epoxy floors (assuming you have a good quality concrete floor to put it on) as I think they are a more permanent solution and are easier to sweep and clean. But it can be pricey, depending on how much grinding and/or etching your floor may need. And of course, you ideally need to do the whole floor at one time whereas with Racedeck you can install it in segments. Good luck. Either solution will look good. BTW, I don't recommend a DIY epoxy floor. I did one when I moved to my current house in 2012 and while it turned out OK, it doesn't look as good as the good professional installs. I used a product that cost about $800 for my 22x25 garage, which was costlier than some of the cheaper stuff at HD etc, but I think it has held up reasonably well.

Just figured I'd add my epoxy pic. It got more grey after the final top coat. It's been on for close to a decade but the urethane top coat never adhered well so I do need to sand that off and re-apply and this time with some grip additive as it was super super slick before. Next time though, definitely just sealing it.

That looks great but damn, if you work on your own cars, don't drop any washers or screws! You'll never find them again.

The racedeck does definitely have a clicking sound when you walk over it. Very similar to a laminate floor that hasn't been anchored down to a subfloor. It bothered me for about a week, now I don't notice it at all. The only downsides I have found is that I tend to want to sweep / mop the racedeck a little more often, and that the tiles will deform with the old angle iron style jackstands on them (as discussed) unless some plywood or something is used to spread the load out. I have also seen my jack wheels denting the floor. The floor tile does return to 95% of its original shape, and it is not noticeable unless you were to go and look for it.
