Keep to the basics of the Buddhist teaching, [...].

I go with this advise. Going to the basics will give you, at list, a good notion of what the Buddha taught. By "nature" most of the traditions have shifted from those teachings in several degrees. To know this is important because can give you some criteria and a wide perspective so to chose what really you need to practice in accordance to your basic believes and temper. I think that we have different needs and temper and some traditions offer believes, rites, rituals and cultural artifacts that can meet those needs and also fit with your temper and basic moods.
