Floor Tiles?
Answers:
Maintenance and durability. Natural stone needs to be sealed, not so with manufactured products. I'd also like to point out that I find natural stones quite slick, even in a honed finish. If you want it, go for it. Ask around and find out what someone who installs this thinks too.
One other consideration is if its' consistent with the value of your house. I didn't think granite counter tops would be for my house. So I did tile instead. It was a tenth the cost.

Whatever your preference look at the side of any piece of tile. If the coloration and pattern go all the way through then it's likely the best investment,,,IE: A tile that is just surface finished will show its true color if it gets chipped and be more noticable in the damage.
Marble is as fragile, but goes all the way through its thickness.

franja you got it backwards sorry. porcelain is one of the most durable tiles you can get. natural stone tile require more maintenance. stick with the porcelain in the kitchen and use natural stone in areas with less wear.
