APD or Primer G.

Tanking is massive overkill unless you are having a wetroom IMO.

No its not - IMO.

Really you shouldn't be tiling onto plasterboard at all, you should use a cement based backing board that won't disintegrate when it gets wet.

Tiling direct onto plasterboard is fine as long as you tank it where it could get rather wet - like round the shower area. If its tanked it won't get wet. If if doesn't get wet it won't disintegrate due to, umm, having got wet.
