If you're going to tile, I'd make sure they are in the middle of a tile

I like 6" to the bottom of the box so the first tile sits nicely under
the socket, then 18" above that to the wall units.

That would also be fine, but of course depends on the size of the tiles.

Can leave you with a couple of L shaped tiles to cut in the 2nd row
though.

No problem with an electric tile cutter. ;-)
