Sounds like ALL coatings, even professionally applied epoxy, are likely to come up after a few years.
The floor will likely do some settling in the next few years, so putting tile down right away will probably result in broken tiles.
I'm thinking of doing a penetrating silicone based sealer to help with dust and water, and just using lots of cardboard to catch spills when I'm doing work.

Any anecdotes about garage floor treatments that are at least 5 or 10 years old?
Granite. We put a granite floor in a friends garage and it looks like it did the day we installed it 15 years ago.
