Default Toilet flange arrangement with new floor

I am replacing a linoleum floor with tile and needed to replace the existing toilet flange, due to a small leak and corrosion of the flange. Since I have the ability to raise the elevation of the drain (if needed) would it be best to set the flange on top of the tile or is it standard to set it on the cement board? My tile and flange are both 1/4" so the flange would be flush with the tile floor surface. Would putting a double wax ring or flange extension be a good idea if it were set on the cement board?

I am concerned with cracking the tile when drilling for the screws that secure the flange to the floor in case this is the preferred arrangement.

thanks,
