I would start Center of both so you have even/uniform cuts meeting your border all around if possible, I would do inside first and take any discrepancies out of the border its less noticeable. I'll see if I can upload a picture

I used 2mm spacers and black grout, these tiles required sealing before grouting because they were cement based (the black pigment in the grout would bleed into the white tile so just look out for that)
