Preprint shower for tile (help?)

My shower will be ripped out to the studs and I want to make sure it goes back together properly. The tile and grout part is pretty easy to understand, but what goes behind the tile. I've read a few different options. Studs, vapor barrier, backerboard, seal joints with tape and thinset, subway tile, grout. Also read backerboard, membrane (that orange grid stuff you see used in tv shows), tile, grout. What's best? What's easiest (this will be a DIY job)? The wife wants a shampoo niche cutout if that matters. Thanks
