Default vapor barrier in basement

I'm putting up some walls and a subfloor in our basement. I've read in some
places to put a vapor barrier right against the bare concrete walls, then
stud it, then insulate and put up another barrier. Some other books say to
omit the one against the concrete. I'm thinking I just paint it with a good
basement paint. There's no water coming in, just an overall dampness. I
assume the same goes for the floor? Just paint it, or plastic then stud and
insulate, then plywood over that?
