Depend s where you put them. High traffic areas the marble is more maintenance. Sealing with the new sealers is a once every few years now. Not like the old silicone sealers that you had to apply every few months.
Porcelain tiles , when you view them, you ll get a more realistic picture of the actual look, where marble you may not know exactly what shade, color and veining your getting w/o seeing the whole bin of marble.
Marble on the whole is more expensive to buy and install.
If your doing a residential setting don t over look regular ceramics, since they can offer just as nice as a look as porcelains ,and porcelains are over sold a lot too. They are a good product but they also can be junk too.

both will be fine, really depend on your budget and taste. marble tiles are more expensive, maintainence is required because it is natural stone so you need to apply seal every 6 months. also for the same reason, it is porous so it’s more likely to get stained if not sealed properly and timely. some marbles has crazy colors and patterns, you might be surprised at the end result. Porcelene tiles cost less, no maintainence required, but some may think that the same pattern on the tile make room look boring also the grout collects dirt and bacteria. I personally like travertine or limestone tiles. they are priced between marble and porcelene. you can do butt-join installation to avoid the grout and because the colors and patterns of each tile are similar, it looks smooth and united.
