I use durock over plywood regardless of where it goes. You could leave out the pink water barrier. Premixed mortar sucks. Wet the tile before setting it and it bonds better. We bought a Harbor Freight tile saw 10 years ago, loan it out all the time, and it is still going strong with at least several hundred hours on it.
