Also the publisher At-Tibyan, would it be ok to quote information from them in Islamic Studies?..

All these sites you mentioned (all of them, SPUBs included) have some good and some errors, some more than others and in different areas. What you should do is
not busy yourself with them and their articles and refutations of site x or daee x, or go around saying so-and-so is an innovator or not. These groups have a tendency to restrict the people of knowledge to a number that you could count on your fingers, and they each have their own 'Ulema. And each of these groups rips the other groups to shreds. They do not deserve any attention.
My advice to you is to stay away from them and worry about what benefits you and do not carry hatred in your heart for your brothers. Ask Allah for safety and well being, especially in regards to your tongue. And seek refuge in Allah from knowledge which does not benefit.
Lastly, remember, we strive for the truth, therefore take the truth regardless if it comes out of the mouth of a salafi or a sufi.
