I like a painter's dropcloth folded to be slightly smaller then the tent under the tent. It's small, lightweight, and super cheap, so when it gets holes, I just go to the nearest hardware store and spend $1-2 on a new one. I could see a couple overlapped garbage bags (held together with duct tape if they don't want to stay down when you flop the tent on top) serving the same purpose.
