So which is the correct phrase? Your or You're when trying to say 'your/you're welcome'?

I even hear some peeps say 'you welcome'.

12 You say `You're welcome' to someone who has thanked you for something in order to acknowledge their thanks in a polite way.
`Thank you for the information.'*`You're welcome.'

"You're" is a contraction short for "you are".

Hence when someone says thank you, you in effect say "You are welcome" for that favor, etc.

I was just wondering why the heck people say it as 'your' and 'you'. I had it right all along because what Drew said was my theory to begin with. The others, not so much.

People just aren't educated that well anymore.. That is why you will get insults such as "Your a dumbass". :)
