Dear Tilers

I'am tiling to 6mm no more ply ( pre primed ) overlayed on chipboard, floor is solid and reasonably even, joists @ 400mm centers.
Area of 3.38m2 it is not a wet room & there is no shower.
The tiles are 200x900x9 porcelain wood effect.

I have selected the following adhesives options, whats the best one? Or what would you use?
I want a standard setting one as this is my first tiling project, and i'll need time for mistakes.

Bal flex one
Bal fibre flex plus
Bal single part flex

Also Bal recommend priming with APD.

No more ply is pre primed, I'am assuming (mabey wrongly) with SBR.

Do I need to prime with APD or not prime at all?

Thanks
