Lot of answers here.
Some are goofy some are good.
Use hardy board or dura rock. Both cut easily with an ordinary skill saw and a carbide blade.
I nail it on with a roofing nailer. Use 1 3/4" roofing nails. Screws are ok but much harder to use and take a lot longer.
The most important thing to consider when installing a tub is to install it so it kants toward the back wall about 3/32". See first photo.
No one ever gets this right - not even professional plumbers. By kanting it back it will prevent water from spilling over the edge of the tub and onto the floor.
The number ONE place where your bathroom will rot out is on the corners of the floor by the ends of the tub. A level tub or one kanted outward will be your ruin.
I don't do vinyl surrounds anymore. They are just not worth it. You can install inexpensive tile for not much more money and have a finished product that is worth more and looks much nicer.
Steel tubs are fine for an inexpensive but long lasting job. Cast iron is better but costs about 3-4 times as much.
It breaks my heart to have to install a nice tile job over a plastic tub.
You will have a job where the tub will last for 10 years while the tile next to it lasts for 25.
Just about all I do for a living is remodel bathrooms.
If you want to ask me anything just email me your phone # and I'll be glad to help.
I've done about 200 of them in my life.
Photos below are a before and after of a job I recently finished.

Today's Featured Article - Trailering Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the fun things of summer and fall are the parades and tractor shows that go on across America. Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that ‘quick look over’ before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche ... [Read Article]
