Kai,
I have to agree with someone else about the ceramic tile. I don't
know how well it will stand up to dropped tools or jack stands/floor
jacks.
The flooring you are thinking of with the aluminum strips instead of
grout is probably terrazo. It is actually poured in place. Most of the
building that I work in has this on the main floor. It would work very
well, but I don't think it is affordable for a garage floor. They used
this on a recent This Old House project, and I seem to remember that it
was very labor intensive.
Cheers,
