There's a couple of company's out there that solely specialize in basement water proofing,I'm sure you could get some free estimation or ideas.
I think ceramic tile will be very cold in the winter unless you put down a radiant zone under the tile.

Live bait sharp hooks and timing is all you need

I have the same deal with water, mostly taken care of but always a risk. I bit the bullet and put ceramic tile down. If you put floating floor if it floods your done,and that stuff does not like humidity. The few time ive gotten wet since doing the floor i just suck up with shop vac no wet smell like carpet or soggy fake wood type floor.

If you could deal with the water issue, there was a great article in Fine Home Building magazine a couple of years ago about putting a floor down on concrete. Basically lay 2"x4" pt sleepers down 16" on center with Liquid nails and then ramset them. Then use 1 1/2" foam insulation board between the sleepers, cover with poly for a vapor barrier and then glue and screw down a 3'/4" plywood sub floor. This would put your subfloor at 2 1/4" height. Also leave a 3/4" gap around the perimeter between the plywood and the wall..
