Pergo's not organic, though, and the box even says it's good for basements.... so would it really be as "bad as wood"?
Still looking for something softer than tile, but am a little low on good ideas... might start pushing for carpet...ahhh for the tootsies!

I would say pergo is WORSE than wood for a basement. It IS organic. Pergo is a picture of wood glued to a fiberboard substrate. That fiberboard will expand like a sponge if it gets wet and then fall apart when it dries.
Tile will handle moisture.
Consider mitigating all moisture first. Once thats done you can use virtually any flooring. I prefer carpet with a good pad right on the concrete. Its relatively inexpensive, goes down fast, looks good and is warm under foot.
