The contractor wants to install the granite sill plates now and later have the tiles installed. I heard from one granite fellow that the sill plates should be last.
Is there any advantage for going one route or another? I would like to have the sills already installed and be done with it, but I also don't want gaps between the sill and the tile.

I would suggest doing the thresholds first. These are very prominent and you want the things that stand out looking the best. In a doorway if you do threshold first then it is a rectangle fitting doorway. If you do the threshold last, than who knows - this would be up to how square your room is and how well you aligned your tiles.
Added: Also when cutting or placing threshold you want to align it up with the wall in the room you will tile. So you have threshold, grout, then first tile row. You shouldn't have to cut the first row of tile to adjust for the threshold - they should flow over threshold.
