Go with the 24 x 24 travertine. Tell the installer that you would like no grout (used only for natural stone). In other words, put the tiles as close as possible together. You will end up with less grout and lines throughout the floor. A good installer will make it look symmetrical.

If money was no object, you would be doing granite slabs on the entire floor, thus, virtually no grout lines.
