Nick, The hardi backer may be an OK choice, but the ceramic tile is an accident waiting to happen. I still use quite a bit of glass lab ware in my studio and the idea of something breaking because it got tipped over or chipped is not my idea of good safety. The hardi back still requires something to set it on so you would be cutting twice. You are also increasing the weight; board, hardi backer, thin set or mastic, tile. And when I tile bathrooms, I still use a layer of tar paper between the hardi backer and the studs or drywall.
