Welcome to the OG of fantasy sports. The original and still the best, but by far the most difficult.
First off, pick your league style. The two you mentioned are very different, but there is a third option you may accidentally choose.
League Types:
1a - Head to Head category: you and your opponent total up all the statistical categories then assign a winner for each one. The winner gets 1 point, for each category at the end of the week. The most common format is 5x5. 5 categories for hitters, and 5 for pitchers. For beginners this is a fine option.
1b - Head to head points. Instead of categories, each play by players earn points. I.e. a single is 1 point, and a double is 2 points. Pitchers also contribute similarly with wins, Ks, innings, etc.
All the different types have their benefit. Considering where you're coming from, my recommendation is for head to head categories.
As for resources, this sub is one of the best. I also recommend the CBS Fantasy Baseball Today podcast for an entertaining update. Some sites to read are

yahoo, cbs, espn, etc...
If you want a book, this one is a good beginners guide with overall and season wide strategy and advice. You may want to pick up the kindle version.

KISS
Keep It Simple Stupid
First read this book.
Then go here use their resources
A few questions:
It is unlikely you are going to get better projections than the guys doing ZiPS & Steamer, so you might as well use those guys as a base.
If you are in a points league, it's easy to assign points to each category appropriately and value players.
Category leagues are a little tougher, but the book goes through everything. It really truly is fantastic for any fantasy baseball nut.
Most of all, don't overthink things and try to stock up on guys you think will break out if you are in a redraft league. You'll hit on a few, might even go to the playoffs, but you won't win a title doing that. Established vets have a spot on your team too, and if they are 30+ years old they are usually discounted.
Check out the Fantasy Black Book by Joe Pisapia. I adopted his RPV system (Relative Postion Value) by creating a formula to see what the average player would be per position and then how much each player per position is more or less valuable to the avg. I have had excellent drafts using this method as I weigh players totally different than the other owners. the important thing is to factor how many of those positions are needed for rosters so you can weigh them out right i.e. Need at least two catchers for ten league team so you'd have to rank at least 20 to provide the bare minimum avg value.
For projections, I use an average of ZiPS and Steamer together.
I can't tell you yet, but I just ordered Annie Duke's Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts and I expect it to fit the bill.
After reading Jeff Passan's "The Arm", even as a Sox fan I have stopped wishing TJ on Tanaka. Glad to see he's been able to play without it. Seriously.
BTW, if you haven't read The Arm, you should.

I really enjoyed Extra Innings by the Baseball Prospectus guys. There might be an updated version, but probably anything from Baseball Prospectus is worth reading.
Congrats on the baby. I gave my 16 month old her first baseball card, a 2016 Allen and Ginter Mascots in the Wild MW-6 Horse Am I shortchanging her?
Currently reading the oral history of The Wire. It's good.
This thing is badass.
