Since it is my job to clean off the hard water stains and calcium deposits from pool tile, I'll answer from that perspective. Grout lines are the most difficult part to clean. Since larger tiles have fewer grout lines they are usually easier to clean. My personal preference though is 1" irridescent glass tiles covering the entire pool, for the elegant look.
