You've almost got it. The sticky might be better able to explain it than me.

What type AdBlock subscriptions do you mean, "for blocking all the things I don't want?" Disable Malware Domains?
For example. ABP may be marketed as an ad blocker, but it's really a generic filter for non-top-level loads that you can use however you want. There are a lot of subscriptions out there, but the "known subscriptions" page is a good place to start.

Well, they're not. ABP is a blacklist based approach (meaning some unknown could slip through just because it's unknown) and Ghostery is basically useless here since it only blocks tracking, not malware.

Not in my experience...
