Every night my robot vacuums the floor. I have very little dust left.
Wooden floors can also be easily wiped out with a wet cloth.

What's your primary concern?

Comfort/warmth? -->Go Carpet, though a large area rug over wood/tile would minimize the effect
Sounds -->Same, carpet. Though same above as well - rugs would minimize effect.
Durability -->Wood/tile
Cleanability -->Wood/tile Carpet traps/releases much more dust than smooth surfaces and harder to keep clean, especially if you have pets. Mites, hair, etc.

Basement area so warmth is a factor. I like carpet but when thinking about carpet there is the replacement factor after so many years. Cost as well. I can do floors (not crazy about the idea) but can't do carpet.

I meant how many people, do you entertain down there or is it primarily just you.

You don't trust a robot with your collection?

Another factor are swivel chairs they give wearmarks on carpet. I concur with Mr.Yac, just walking with one or two persons a good carpet will do.
