bathtub tile making final decisions

bathtub tile:
( I am overdue in deciding and not meeting my deadline for deciding so have to decide very soon!!)

I am pretty sure I am going with Carrera marbl tiles for my master bath.
Some advice needed (and I have read a million threads and stories on marbel tile but still need specific advice!)

I think I will do 12X12 floor tiles. should I go with honed or polished?

I think I want carrerra tiles on the bathtub/shower surround too. I am a little nervous about possible rust thugh I don't think our water is hard ( new house don't live theere yet but water test said nothard)

Woudl polished on the walls and honed on the floor be good?

also, would 8X8 on the walls with 12X12 on the wall be good?

so essentially I am thinking 12X!2 honed on floor and 8X8 polished on bath/shower but I am unsure. any advice?

in other bathroom, we went to a tile store today and loved this one limestone tile we saw- it was a hand rubbed tuscany limestone tile. this one: http://www.stonepartnership.com/Our%20Products/Limestone/images/Tuscany.htm

the price at the store was way too high and I have an email into the place it comes from to see if there is a lower price.

Meanwhile I found this one at a WAY lower price: http://www.stonetiledepot.com/shop/st-barts-honed-12x12-limestone-tiles/ I ordered a smaple but I am not sure I even have time- I guess I will have to have time to see it. not sure if it will be similar to the one I like.

Again, thinking of 12X12 on the floor and 8X8 onm the wall.

any feedback or suggestions? I am still unsure
