    Personal choice, porcelain is a lot more hard wearing than ceramics.

    As the guys say, I would use Porcelain because it is much harder wearing

    Porcelain is obviously more hard wearing, but not essential, there are tens of millions of people who have ceramic tiled kitchen floors. Just make sure you get a few spares in the event that any ever get damaged in the future : this applies to any tile !
