   If they will be in a wet area, like the shower or tub surround, then thinset is definately the way to go.  Mastic does not belong in a wet area.

   If it is walls in the room like wainscoting, then mastic is ok.  Don't use mastic on the floor.

   If you are doing a shower or tub surround, I hope you are using something on the walls other than plain sheetrock.

   Nice job.

   I also use running bond rather than stacked for most of my stone work.

   12 x 12 on walls means you need the wall plane finished to a perfectly flat surface first. Any irregularities will ruin the job
