Default BUILDING SHOP: SMOOTH OR ROUGH CONCRETE?

In article , knowone says...

I am building a shop with a concrete floor.
I think that smooth concrete would be best for the floor due to easy
cleaning.
I also think a rough finish would be better to keep from slipping.
Maybe a trade-off.
What is the consensus?


Will you be running coolant on any of the machines in the shop?

Water based coolant on a painted concrete floor is slippery as
hell, that would be one case where a broom finish would be
better.
