Trek, I did a bathroom a few months ago. That I swore after I was done. I would get out of construction for life. What a nitemare. The floor was 2 in out of level in 7 ft. All the floor joists had been cut and notched in the basement. ( thank you a-hole plumbers and HVAC guys). Every wall was at least 3/4 out of plumb.
I agree, the mortar is the best way to go. Ive pulled shower walls down that were just tile and mastic over green board. Not good! Alot of the tile guys around here sold me on the Redgard. Thats what made me lean toward using it. Before that, I always used thinset over rock board. or Kerdi
