Spaying your pup before first heat?

Did some research and found out that the old wise tale about waiting till first heat cycle to spay your dog, does more harm than good. Everywhere you read, the more heats your dog goes through, the more suceptible they are to some cancers. But then came across this...
http://www.naiaonline.org/pdfs/LongTermHealthEffectsOfSpayNeuterInDogs.pdf And they make it seem like you should wait till the dog is mature rather than spaying before first heat(6 months)...
What do you think? What have you read, found or been told?
