Define "better"
- easy to install
- easily available
- no nail heads in it and doesn't need sanding (if you're thinking about reclaimed pine)
- maybe less draughty
- maybe warmer
VS
- looks less original
We of course spent a fortune on [the cheapest] exactly the right width and age reclaimed pine.

looks less original. unless you just get engineered wood that looks the same, minus the squeaking, warping and knotty bollocks.

Also put in insulation & UFH, after removing no doubt years of builders rubble, and clearing out any air bricks.

I'd definitely like to insulate under there, no matter what goes down. UFH would be nice but we'll see what the budget stretches to. I'd love a heat pump too, but same...
