You are right, they have been saying that for a long time and actually it’s what I was doing before getting sick (SSB MV with more endurance and sometimes workouts from the HV plan). However, in November I had significantly less time to train due to an internship.
Therefore, following that principle I should just try SSB HV and see how it goes. Maybe using the extra time to recover better and study more 
.
But, since my goal for this season is mainly improve endurance I thought that TB would be better than SSB, especially after reading this thread Any benefit to Traditional Base vs Sweet Spot?
However, as it turns out, is not a easy choice.
