I'm not sure but I think fastening the plywood on top of the rigid foam on top of the moisture barrier would be a nightmare...like 3 inch tapcons through everything into the concrete thus sort of nullifying the vapour barrier and permanently numbing your arm from hammer drilling. I think dricore is the way to go. People have done rigid foam and dricore. But you can also get carpet underlayment with vapour barrier and enhanced thermal break. I might go that route.
