What's your preference and why?
If it matters, I'm also doing the ceiling.

First off, mortar is number one. But applying mortar for walls is definately not for an amatuer. As for your choices, I quit using Durock, Wonderboard, Crumblecrap (whatever name it goes by now) a long time ago. I use nothing but Hardibacker for floors and recommend it for counter tops, tubs and shower wall substrate. it's just a superior product and easier to use IMHO.
For installing the backerboard it helps immensley if you make sure your walls are plumb and the enclosure is square. Run a straightedge horizontally across the studs to check for any that may be bowed as well, and correct that beforehand.
Learned it the hard way and I will second the opinion above.
