Darrin,

I am not sure which of these methods is best, but I would install the walls first. The plates are bolted to the floor to prevent movement. Then the flooring, etc. In addition to this, if you have a sump pump in your basement and you are adding some expensive renovations, not to mention the TV, Pool Table, etc. that may follow, you should really consider a backup sump pump.
