We used standard thinset mixed with latex admixture instaed of water on all floor tile and standard wall tile adhesive on the walls. No cracks or loose tile in 40,000 miles.  Grout was poly gout mixed using latex admixture (sanded on floors and unsanded on walls).  Jack

Thanks for the input out there, I've decided to go with "Flexbond". Slide.
