And Im Lobster Jesus!
I threw down some conveyor belt material in my greenhouses, you would still need to throw down some wood for jackstands but its a durable non slip weed and moisture barrier. I found the material at a farm auction but have seen it on craigslist. I think its out of a mine or somewhere similar, its pretty stiff and is a few feet wide and about an inch thick.

Trench, drain tile, sump pump.

The materials for this (except for the pump) are all relatively inexpensive, but there is a decent amount of labor needed. A decent sump pump is $250-400, but if you line everything with filter fabric, including the sump pit, you can probably get away without a pump that can pass decent sized solids.
In the late 90s the inside of my basement was trenched and a sump put in, in a walk out basement it was still a ton of labor. With that work and proper sloping outside the basement floor stays dry and it only needs one dehumidifier.

Depending on how bad the water issue is and the soil type you're going to have to do something to address it before you consider a floor. How is the ground sloped leading up to that back wall?
