As mentioned previously, slabs get the nod as the greenest foundation strategy.
"The tipping point in favor of slab-on-grade over crawlspace is that the slab can be the finished floor. Stained concrete is still trendy, bulletproof, and saves at least $3/sq.ft. on your floor system.
The thermal mass and the way it buffers the temperature is just a bonus."

My concrete floor is six years old, had zero maintenance*, and looks just like the day we moved in.

This floor has an oil-based polyurethane finish, which doesn't work for a slab on grade. The stain and sealer are important but easy to DIY.
