The more you referee with different crews, the more criticizing and critiquing you will recieve. I was given the advice when I moved up to varsity a few years ago that listen to what "everyone" has to tell you, keep your mouth shut, and then adapt the parts of the advice that fit into your game. Some advice will work for you, others will not. No matter how much you disagree with the other official, it is better to just listen, and then go on to your next game/crew. As a new official, you don't want to make a name for yourself as being one that comes into the system and knows it all, or refuses to take advice.
