    You will need a powder for the large porcelain or could take ages to dry out. Not used the Bal products have used Technik OPF nice product

    Both adhesives mentioned are fine but i would opt for the single part flexible myself.

    If they are going on to plasterboard, or cement board, then Single part flex is fine.

    single part flexible will be fine, don't use a rapid set spf for your walls, use a standard set, for your floors lay and cut tiles to suit first and then use a rapid set spf to wet lay them. don't forget to use a flexible grout too!
