Affordable tile wood floor.
Tile or hardwood floors first.
The best way to make sure that your flooring stays clean is to avoid spilling paint on it in the first place.
Lay the finish flooring straight onto the subfloor with no additional underlayment.
Use engineered wood flooring rather than solid hardwood.
Be sure to use a canvas drop cloth.

A good dropcloth is a wise investment in your house because you can use it repeatedly.
In comparison real hardwood flooring costs an average 5 to 10 per square foot with installation running an additional 4 to 8 per square foot.
The reason for this is that the hardwood is very firm and has little room for adjustment.

Paint drips are a valid concern whether you have previously finished the floor or not.
An underlayment adds another 1 4 inch to 1 2 inch to the total flooring thickness.
After the hardwood floor is installed have the tile installer install the tile.
Finally faux wood tiles can be an affordable option for you.
It seems like it would be easier to lay the flooring first and not have to cut it to fit against the toekick or to cover up the gap with shoe moldings.
