I am finishing up a remodel and the sub that did the showers left a gap about 1/8" or so around the drain grate ring. Is it better to grout around this or to caulk around this will a 100% silicone caulk. Or am I better off with a siliconized latex caulk? There is one spot that might be a big larger because of a chip in the tile! Please advise.

Information here may be outdated?
Anytime when to dissimilar products meet it is better to caulk than use grout, The grout can break and crack to to expansion /contraction fo the materials or any movement between the two.
Use a caulk that is rated for use in baths and should be OK.
