Bathroom floorboard

[aidf72]

Hi all,
I want to completely redo my bathroom, the floor is vinyl tiles stuck to thin sheet of pliable fiberous board (not sure of the correct name) which are tacked to plywood that is nailed to the joists beneath. I have to get the boards up to allow plumbing access, so I wanted to replace them and screw the replacements back. The question is, what should I put back? Should I opt of plywood again or I've seen green chipboard (tongue and groove style) that I'd read is treated and useable for wet areas. What's the best choice? I'm likely to be taking other flooring up in the rest of the house too, what should I use?
Many thanks,
Aid.

Depends what floor finish you need, exterior plywood is good for carpet or floor tiles or you could use T&G wood flooring for carpet or stained the wood with oil or wax etc

The chief factor is budget. We don't intend to stay here long, so I just want to do a nice, clean, simple job. I don't like carpet in bathrooms and an expensive stained wood wouldn't be in keeping with the rest of the house, so I guess it'll be floor tiles.
