Tile Help

Blogfriends, I need your help.

Has anyone used either the 3X6 American Olean subway tile from Lowe's or the Rittenhouse 3X6 Semi-Gloss subway tile available at Home Depot? Any thoughts, preferences, etc?

Any recommendations on the best 2 inch hex tile? I think we're going with white on that, too...unless anyone has any thoughts on carerra that's reasonably priced. And no square spacers between the tile--just the hexagons.

Also, I'm thinking 1/16" spacing and Maipai Silver grout.

Your brilliance and insight would be most appreciated!!
