I'm redoing our foyer/hallway/bath/laundry room right now. I put 8" ceramic tile over 1/2" backer board on a 3/4" sub-floor 27 years ago. No cracks whatsoever in all those years in this high-traffic area with lots of stuff dropped on it over the years.
Using an air chisel to remove the old tile, leaving the backer board and putting 12" ceramic over it. Ceramic is fine for indoors. Porcelain is only needed outdoors due to its water imperviousness (sic?). Otherwise, they're basically the same stuff. Biggest mess is the fine dust from the demolition. Even with sheets and plastic segregating the work area, the dust seems to migrate. Wife and I will just "spring clean" the house when I'm done.
Figure it's a 3-4 weekend job to do 250 sq ft in sections so we can still get into and out of the house. To answer your question, definitely use cement backer board. Otherwise, you'll regret it.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
