Default Grout or Silicone for tile to worktop joint?

Just completed another marathon tiling job, this time ceramic tiles to the
walls in a new kitchen, 460 tiles, and a lot of hours !



I have spaced the tiles 3mm up from worktops (using standard 3mm tile
spacers which were used throughout)

There are 2 options for the finish .. Grout the joint at the same time as
grouting the tiles, or fill the gap with silicone.



What is the considered best practise for the joint between tiles & worktop

?

I used White Silicone, and also used masking tape above (vert), and below
(horiz) the joint to provide a neat finish as my tiles were dark green.
Still Ok approx 12 yrs later.
