Slugworth posted:Strongly recommend putting cement board down. Those boards are gonna expand and contract with seasonal changes. Your tile isn't going to want to expand and contract with them. There will be a fight, feelings will be hurt, and tile will crack. Agreed. Glue and screw the cement board down and if the floor has flex in it a layer of crack membrane might be a good idea too. (My go-to is Custom Red Gard).

Use thinset, and figure 1/2"-5/8" for your tile assuming you're going to use a decent porcelain tile. If you're going cheap (aka home depot <$1.00 per square foot) figure 3/8, you need to take into account your setting material thickness which is generally a heavy 8th of an inch or so. If your tiles are larger than 16x16 or so, or if you're going with a plank tile larger than 6x24, it would be advantageous to switch to a medium bed mortar. You can glue them down, but you're going to have cracked grout within a year if you do.
