Of course you should make your own decisions, but do it with as much information as possible. Asking others for their experiences, advice, and reasons for that advice, is a much better road to a sound decision than something that merely "feels right." Okay, it feels right -- but there be another option beyond your current experience that feels even righter, once someone brings it to your attention.
Of course, not all advice is created equal, and only you can decide what is and isn't relevant to your own situation. But again, that's what puts you in control of the process, no matter how many different opinions you gather.
