I just did my entire house in tile and had the same situation you do - my place is 25 years old and had 3" baseboards. An friend said to go with 5" which I did and I haven't looked back. Installed price was around $800 for wood. Way cheaper if you do it yourself, but I had it done professionally. Worth every penny! Other advice above is good - put the baseboard on top of the floor without a doubt. Go for real wood (finger jointed) to eliminate any moisture issues.
