I recommend thinking about this in terms of the bathroom as a whole, incorporating a variety of tile sizes for visual interest. I suggest using larger tiles on the floor (hopefully this is an even surface), 12x12 or so. Then using 6x6 on the shower walls, and finally the 1x1 on the shower floor. The small tiles on the floor allow for easier accommodation of the sloped shower base, and becuase you'll need more grout, it will provide better traction. Using a darker grout to will help avoid having to clean it constantly. You can also use smaller tiles as a border or even inset soap dishes, etc. These and shower floors are the smallest areas, and so using the expensive small tiles in here will be cheaper than trying to do the entire shower walls in smaller tiles. Either way, you can't go wrong. Pick what you like - there is no harm done.
