I'm wondering if there could be a path that is considered the 'best', in terms of speed of completion and overall understanding of the 'multiverse' area, like ciphers and its layout. Should one go to the ciphers first (and how to get to them from the nearest warp gates), or should I follow all the paths that lead to small gates first (these could be called 'side paths', if you like)?
Basically what I'm asking is, would I be missing a lot if I don't know the codes when I first encounter them, or would it be better to have the experience of having to find them?

Fez is really about exploration and fun puzzles. I myself haven't beaten it, but the way I figure it is that you basically go where you want to go and do what you want to do. As you mentioned in your own comment, I think it is subjective. It is possible that there are some people that do speed runs and have it down to an art, but beyond that I think you should just enjoy it to your heart's content :)
