Another handy thing to consider is a "trench drain" all the way across the front in front of the doors. Allows you to control where the water goes when you are hosing something off either inside or outside. Just a thought.

Jeff, the one thing about the fiber mesh is it may tend to have some "fur" on it when the finishers are done. It drives them crazy! Easy to burn off later before you coat or polish the floor should you decide to do so. They have come a long ways and that may no longer be a problem. The stuff helps a lot!

Also, there are some great industrial impregnating sealers to coat the slab. Polished slab gets my vote...no coatings, no paint and not floor tiles.
Just let the slab cure first.
