We put down tile in the lanai and love it. Unless there is a lot of wind, rain comes in about a foot. We haven't found it terribly slippery. However, no matter what kind of floor that you have, rain will bring in dirt which will accumulate in certain areas. A simple mopping takes care of it. You might consider living in the house for a year or two in case you want to modify the lanai - glass it in or add a birdcage. Also, my neighbor put in a paver surface and the installer brought the level of the pavers up to the top of the ground frame for the screens. Good luck!
