I'm still confused, he gives you 3 choices and all of them he/she says that he/she recommends.... so which way is the intended one?

I'ma go with this one;
Brave: Entire F/SN visual novel -> Fate/Zero -> UBW anime -> HF movies. I fully reccomend this order for various reasons. As I said, the UBW anime is made to appeal to VN readers. It's not a perfect adaption due to the change in mediums but it isn't a bad adaption either. So if you want the best understanding of F/SN's plot, world, and characters, you should definitely read the whole VN. Another reason is the waiting; UBW's 2nd cour won't start till April 2015 and we don't know how long it'll take for the HF movies to come out. Fate/Stay Night is a very long VN but it is well worth the time. After finishing F/SN, you can then watch and fully appreciate Fate/Zero without anything holding you back.
So with the correct names, how should i go?
Fate/Zero > Fate/Zero 2nd Season > Unlimited Blade Works (Prologue) > Unlimited Blade works > Heaven's Feel?
no look. the guide is right but you mixed tem together. you only want to watch the anime adaption i assume.
then you have to follow as it's said there.
fate stay night ubw 2014>fate zero s1+s2 then the hf movies because they are not out yet.
Play the Fate/Stay Night Visual Novel first.
There's no Fate route adaption which is the starting point of FSN and is Saber's story. You can go anime only, but you won't get the full story in that case. Not to mention that people in general agree that the new UBW adaption is not a particulary good one and isn't portraying Shirou's character well. It is better than the old anime adaptions which are terrible, but Fate/Stay Night is the story about Emiya Shirou's psychological state, ideals and world-view just like Tsukihime is Tohno Shiki's story and Kara no Kyoukai is Ryougi Shiki's story so you really shouldn't do UBW anime first if you want the full experience.
Don't watch Zero before completing all three FSN routes; Fate, Unlimited Blade Works and HF. Zero spoils some things for FSN and Zero is a lot more enjoyable if watched after FSN. To put it simply, if Fate/ was a detective story about a murder case then FSN is solving the mystery and collecting the evidence while Zero is the flashback at the end of the movie of how the murder happened.
In short, go about it in this order:
Fate/Stay Night Visual Novel (Fate route > Unlimited Blade Works route > Heaven's Feel route) -> Fate/Zero.

This is the order it should be played/watched
Fate/Stay Night > Fate/HollowAtaraxia > Fate/Zero . Once you finished that you should play Tsukihime .
Tsukihime is another visual novel series set in the same universe as Fate . The story is about Shiki Tohno and various girls who have their own routes . Once you finished Tsukihime you can play the Kagetsu Tohya VN . Once you finished that you can play the Melty Blood games or read Kara no Kyoukai
Tsukihime > Kagetsu Tohya > Melty Blood/Kara no Kyoukai
After that you can watch Carnival Phantasm (comedy anime about Tsukihime and Fate ) , play Fate/Extra (the series features a few Tsukihime charactes) , read Fate/Apocrypha or read Fate/Strange Fake .
Fate/Extra > Fate/Extra ccc > Fate/Extra Foxtail
Fate/Apocrypha is a series of light novels , so you just have to read them in order .
Fate/Strange Fake is just one light novel , so you can read it anytime after finishing the main line .
Fate/Kaleid liner is a comedy series about magical girls , so if you are into that watch it .
Once you are done with that you can wait for the translation of Mahōtsukai no Yoru . It's about Aoko Aozaki who is an important character in the Tsukihime storyline . She's also playable in the Melty Blood games .
There is also an Tsukihime remake coming soonish which will most likely feature the Satsuki route which was used for Melty Blood .
