Different variants of Buddhism?

Hi,

I’ve been interested in Buddhism for a while now - mainly due to my interest in achieving harmony with the universe, as well as my more anthropological interests - but I’ve been having a hard time differing between the different sects of Buddhism.

I know (mainly from trying to decipher and understand the overcomplicated Wikipedia pages) there’s Mahāyāna and Theravada (from Sri Lanka?); but then there’s also Tibetan, Vajrayana, and Sangha. What is the difference between them all? Which one is “the best”? How did each develop?
