I've never seen anyone able to remove tile without chunks of the cement board coming with it. I've always replaced the cement board when replacing tile. And with that being the case I would think just cutting up the entire sub floor would be your best bet. The only extra cost would be the plywood, and the saved time & frustration of trying to chip up that floor one square inch at a time, would be well worth it IMO
