If money was no object, you would be doing granite slabs on the entire floor, thus, virtually no grout lines.
you have to have grout lines or bacteria and other stuff gets in there. i agree though, the smaller the better, i usually do 1/16".

both 18" and 24" is extremely hard to lay for stone, if you dont get an expert that has years and years of experience with stone dont expect it to look half way decent or last longer than 3-5 years.
