Most Practical Scales to Learn

I was about to start working on some random scales on GuitarCardio.com, when something that Kenski wrote as a comment a while back. A new comment on that page reminded me about it.
Kenski wrote “As a starting point I would advocate learning the box position for major scale“. I had started looking in to the Box Position, but I never really understood what it was. I looked and looked and never came to any conclusion. I did find a bunch of good material, but I never really understood it…
And I still don’t. I found this: http://www.myguitarsolo.com/sc_box.htm
And while I understand what it is saying — run through the 6 scales on the same key — it doesn’t completely make sense. The scale patterns don’t match other sources.
Consider my other Google Result: http://www.robinmay.co.uk/index/independent_pages/view_independent_pages/10/
Is there no rule to this? If not, then why is this worth learning? If there is some form of rules, are they loose rules?
Any guidance would be appricated.
