I like to stick to the same brand as the addy, Either Weber, Mapei, Bal or Ardex.

What is the meterage of the floor Andy?
 
You can use Ditra or Dural Ci+ Stuck down with an S2 adhesive, then tile with a suitable adhesive for resin bonded tiles.. I'e.. Mapei Granirapid or Elastorapid..are 2 good ones..

Advice is good Dave and certainly something I would do, but I reckon you'll find Schluter would say no to using Ditra on P5 boards.
They also say use of an S2 adhesive to bond the Ditra cancels out the effect of the membrane. Should always be an S1. Bizarre I know - but true.

A good non flexible addy with a flexible admix will replace approx 50% of the water used in the mix. Resin bonded tiles are susceptible to twisting with too much water.
 
You should only have to install an expansion joint every 4 or so M if the tiles are fixed over under floor heating, usually around every 7-10M. Not that it would do any harm to add more.
