screed or wooden flooring?

    hello everybody,

    its an old house an I have just begun a suspended timber floor on the complete ground floor. I work with wood, hence my preference. I have to raise floor level 4 to 5 inches anyway.And the plumbing can run between the joists. All good.
    The thing is its a lot of work as the floors are very uneven and sloped and need a lot of packing. Thats no problem but if I calculate my time plus the cost of the timber and plywood its actually quite expensive.
    To get a screed done professionally would be around the same cost, and no work for me. Plumbers pipes could be laid before the pour.
    If I go with screed, whats the min screed thickness for stability?
    And overall, what are the pros and cons between the floor types?

    Thanks a lot
