If you are going to compile a kernel I suggest you compile one from scratch. Not a patched-all-to-hell-kernel that comes from the distro releasers. www.kernel.org
You don't have to grab the latest, you can grab 2.4.18 if you want (however 2.4.20 is the latest stable).
Yeah but it would have been in a different area than the 3rd party options (since in a default kernel there aren't any ). In that case you have something common that anyone can work worth. Errors from kernel recompiles usually come from missing a dependency. If you read the help files associated with the options you choose it will usually say "If you enable this, you will also need to enable that" where this and that are other options in the kernel.
