Default [Q] I keep wiping all my stuff

This no sd card thing is still weird to me and I don't understand it.
I also don't understand TWRP lol.
I used 4ext on my last phone and wish that was here for the Gnex.
Should I be wiping all 6 options in TWRP to install a rom?
Being System, Cache, Dalvik, Rotation, Battery, and Factory reset
I can never find my roms or backups and I feel that I'm deleting them.
Someone help me out here.

And I'm sorry for the Gnex noob questions. I'll get used to it soon
I was a boss at dealing with my Evo 3d.

CURRENT
Phone Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Toro Plus)
Status Unlocked/Rooted/TWRP
ROM Paranoid Android 3+
RETIRED
Phone HTC Evo 3D (CDMA)
Status Unlocked/S-Off/4Ext
ROM CM 10.1 Goin' In

If you're flashing a new ROM, just choose factory reset, it hits cache and data without wiping the sdcard. And the new rom should take care of wiping system as well.

Thank you so much. Are there any other weird things I should know about this phone that would differ it from a HTC device?

okay so I thought it wasn't wiping my stuff.
But it still is.
I only did a Factory Reset and it wiped my 2 backups of PA and Slim.
Which really really sucks.
It left my music
But my backup is gone.
Backups through TWRP are only stored in TWRP dir. on SD right?
