I'm all about comfort so those rubber interlocking black tiles are both easy to clean and easy to replace. maybe at first you don't need to rip out the existing tile. Just give it a good cleaning, lay down a painters dust cover and put the new tile over it. If you decide on something else later for resale value , then you can always keep the rubber tiles for another part of the house. If I had to go with ceramic then this City slate is what I'd be pleased with.

Thank you! When I was initially looking at tile a rectangular darker tile like what you pictured appealed to me. However, husband thinks it might make our kitchen closed in feeling??? Plus you would see the dust lol. I’m open to anything but existing tiles do need to come out as they were damaged due to a water leak. It’s a mess and this is an old pic.
