I would probably base that decision on whether or not the cabinets were already in place when I installed the tile, and also on the price of the tile. I have dome it both ways. The only thing different if tile is not installed under the cabinets is that the counters might be a quarter to half inch lower, and maybe if you replace the cabinets at a later date, they may fit up to the tile a little differently.
I definitely would not remove existing cabinets to put tile under them.
If I were installing new cabinets and new floor tiles, it would be a financial decision for me--do I want to hide $ 100 to $ 500 worth of tile and backer board under some cabinets, where they will probably never be seen again?
