In my local area there are courses offered on Kadampa Buddhism, Triratna Buddhism, Amida Buddhism, Diamon Way Buddhism...

Does it matter which one I go to?

A solid foundation is important. The Mahayana books and groups you've mentioned might offer you something quite useful... but I'm biased, so I recommend getting your hands on some good introductory Suttas and exploring the words of the Buddha first, or at least alongside your other explorations.
