If you want to keep things in line with what they do there, you should go with Basic Activity because in the third step of that tutorial you'll need content_my.xml which won't be generated if you choose Empty Activity at start (of course you can put your code in activity_main.xml which is pretty the same thing). So if you only want to go in line with the tutorial you choose Basic Activity. The difference between previous Blank Activity and current Basic Activity is the extra code generated in your activity like:

    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
    fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                    .setAction("Action", null).show();
        }
    });
