we put the underlay on the concrete and 5 years later everything seems ok. In retrospect, if i was doing the basement again, I'd likely go the subfloor route to give the basement a little more warmth - but that being said, a cool basement is a great place to hide away from everyone who might bug you (wife, kids etc)......
