    It would have been a real problem if you did not have what to choose. Since you have 35 options I think that it not so hard to choose the one, which best fits the needs.

    The confusion of RSS begins with the acronym. Outside the blogger/tech world people don’t like to learn acronyms and automatically assume it is too complicated for them. I began using the word ‘subscribe’ next to my RSS tag to help guide my readers.

    I might be missing something, but why have these buttons in the first place?

    Just make sure your html has the code so rss readers can auto-detect the feed url, and let the browser do the rest (either by itself like Firefox’s feed icon, or by using and add-on toolbar like the Google toolbar which adds a “subscribe with your feed reader” icon to every site which has auto-detectable rss).
