go under the rail base....the base acts similarly to quarter-round in concealing rough cuts, imprecise fittings, etc. and makes for a far more finished look.

Install the tile so it extends 1/2" below the top of the level where the baseboard will come to.
Install a shim plate the thickness of the tile or a shade more between the tile and the floor. Now the wall is flat.
Nail your base into the shim plate.
Looks great, has flexibility, is easily replaceable later if needed....

Under. Another tip: Do the layout for your floor from the center of the room. The cut tile will be against the wall & will be virtually un-noticed since you covered it with your new oak trim. Your floor will look much more symetrical if you lay your tile out this way.

Molding should NEVER be left attached if already existing, and/or Tile should be left with at least 1/4 inch space around a perimeter upon which ANY moulding will be installed.
Simple concise answer, VALID.

going under the base moulding is best it will hide the rougher cut edge and give you the width of the moulding to play with on your cuts
