We are redoing our bathroom and plan to use Avaire flooring. We are also installing a new shower unit (fiberglass type). Do you recommend laying the entire floor first and placing the shower on top of the tile or placing the shower first and tiling up to the shower?

No matter what type of flooring you're installing it's allways best to install all permanent fixtures first. After the shower base is installed install the Avaire tile then just place a bead of flexible caulk between the shower base and the tile.
