A high quality luxury vinyl plank would handle a humid room and radiant very well! I found some information that as long as your radiant heat set below 85 degrees Fahrenheit LVP can be your waterproof and heat friendly solution. I found that Shaw's Floorte Pro can handle this from this helpful basement flooring blog: https://www.reallycheapfloors.com/blog/the-best-flooring-for-basements/
I thought LVP would melt! If you've ever experienced radiant heat, you know 85 degrees is HOT for a living room, much less a well insulated basement.
tiles are the best option. Carpet is good if you have no water issues
