I have installed wood and tile many times. Tile is way more labor intensive - heavy materials and mixing thinset sucks. Tile also requires a wet saw which is messy. Floor prep - for tile over slab - will also be more difficult as you will need some sort of crack isolation membrane. If you go with a natural stone like travertine the installation will be doubly hard but if you know what you're doing it will look fantastic and last longer than the house itself.
