For a professional project in Magento 2, my coworkers have to supply me a full static HTML integration. On the magento side, to make it easier, I want to start from the most empty theme and to stick as close to the HTML DOM they will create as possible.

But I'm not sure which way I can follow :

• Every topic I read on this subject suggest to start with a new custom theme which herite from the blank theme.
• Another way would be to create a custom theme which herite from no other theme, and create custom page layout (avoiding empty.xml to add some html), ...

Do you have some advices on these both ways ? I would need pros and cons to make the right choice.
