(OP)
What type of vapor barrier do you usually spec for most commercial projects?
I see some engineers still spec 6 mil, most do 10 mil, and some are going to 15 mil.

For any other floor finish we use a minimum of 10 mil and go up from there depending on what the finish is. Gymnasiums have typically been the most stringent and I would concur with structuresguy in using 15 mil class A.
