Should I buy Tony Hawk: American Wasteland for BadUpdate? Because I still plan to play Rock Band with the DLCs, although I don't plan to actually play Tony Hawk.... Or should I use bibarub's fork of BadAvatar or wait for an official update?

You don't need to buy anything. You want to use abadavatar 1.3 and then install it to mmu/hdd and then you don't even need a usb stick poking out of your 360.

I saw that video earlier.

MVG now prefers a software exploit over RGH. It's good to see. RGH offers a few advantages, but overall it isn't needed anymore for running homebrew and backups/mods. Without it modding the Xbox 360 would be a lot more difficult. Even Ryan used an RGH when developing the exploit.
I do respect it though for what it has allowed as well as JTAG.

Now though, RGH is a risky method that, to me, isn't worth it when the software exploit can do almost all that an RGH console can.
Every now and then I see posts on reddit about RGH consoles having one problem or another. Usually not booting because modifying the nand is breaking the proper signature(s).

RGH is good if using a large non original sata drive and you don't have a 4GB mmu or you are using an old dashboard like blades. I've got 2 xbox360's, first one is a fat with just a wire and diode installed and I've never had an issue with it, the other is a slim with demon dual nand and coolrunner and never had an issue with that either, but for folks that don't want to open their 360 or solder anything then this new mod is excellent news.

Happy to report that ABadAvatar (the latest, 1.3) finally works on my console. ^^ Not sure why the previous versions didn't work. It could be that my USB drive was faulty back then but that doesn't explain why ABadUpdate was working instead. Anyway, I picked up a new USB drive, set it up with the BadBuilder app and used XeUnshackle Max instead of the default one in order to disable the splash screen and skip to Aurora after jailbreak. Now I just need to see what else I need of those homebrew apps and, once done, move everything to the HDD and ditch the USB drive altogether.

From what I've seen, the only downside to using ABadAvatar is that you need to unplug the Kinect in order to have a better success rate.

Other than those homebrew apps that are included, what else should I add to my setup?
