For a heavy machine-shop environment, I would go with 2-part epoxy on both the floor and walls. I would also use epoxy from the same manufacturer on both floor and walls (not necessarily the same epoxy, just the same manufacturer) - the floor coating will have friction/traction requirements and need to be more heavy-duty than the wall coating, especially with motorized traffic. It should be specifically marketed as a floor epoxy.

The SW 3745 is marketed as a flooring epoxy. Haven't seen it used, the data sheet looks fine.

The SW Macropoxy 646 is a pretty widely used industrial epoxy.

I don't know what Devoe 100% solids epoxy you're being offered.

The Glidden Ultrahide is just a latex. Possibly a nice latex, but basically indoor housepaint. Not durable enough for a shop, IMO.

For the shop floor we went with the Stonhard line of two-part coatings. There is a Stonhard, Stonflex, Stonclad, and Stonkote product for different severities to handle lift truck, oil & grease, steel and wood pallets. The old floor has to be ground down to the concrete base prior to application. The end result is excellent, especially considering my facility is over 60 years old. Stonhard is in New Jersey.
