If you are replacing the floorboards and want a flat floor, the simplest
answer is flooring quality chipboard.

Chipboard? Despite its wide use by crappy mass market builders, in an
extensive survey it was ranked just above cardboard, candy floss and
razor blades as the cheapest, nastiest and most unsuitable material
ever created for floors.

An extensive survey by whom and judged against what criteria? It has proven
very reliable, with industrial loading, for a mezzanine in one of my
factories. Of course, what I used is of rather better quality than you would
buy from a shed.
