Im pretty cofused about the content in rebirth vs afterbirth
Right now I have binding of isaac rebirth. I wanna know if its a good starting choice and when can I buy afterbirth and afterbirth+.

Also, if I buy afterbirth+, do I get access to the normal afterbirth content? Does afterbirth+ has rebirth content as well as the extra content? or that extra content replaces everything, and a complete new experience from rebirth

Also should u find every single item and beat every endings and challenges first to buy afterbirth?

sorry for many questions :/

every expansion adds content and doesn't replace/remove anything. If you're enjoying rebirth then it's probably safe to get afterbirth.

afterbirth+ adds a little bit of content but it's mainly for mod support.

Well what you do first is up to you. Afterbirth has everything Rebirth has, all the items, challenges, etc, and more.
But Yes, it IS a Different experience for each of the 3 games. Each expansion made various changes and has different enemies, item, rooms, rules. And the new games didn't just add things, it replaces and took away certain things from the past games.

I think it's fine to play whatever, but in my opinion, I'd start with Afterbirth because transfering your save from rebirth to afterbirth can be annoying. Afterbirth is very similar to Rebirth, but with some positive changes.

You get all the content, but with many changes to the point that AB+ is a whole new experience. But you can always uninstall After birth and +, and go back to playing regular Rebirth.

I would do the challenges and unlocks for Afterbirth first, because good rewards, and also, the new items can male it easier to do the Rebirth challenges

Rebirth is an ideal starting choice. You can choose to buy AB/AB+ at any time.

As kaninelove says, AB+ cannot be purchased alone without first getting AB. The content added by the expansions is combined with the content from core game, it changes the experience in it's entirety rather than, say, a menu toggling between 2 completely different experiences.
As xPAINxKINGx mentioned, it's entirely possible to disable the DLC's,which stores progression seperatly from Rebirth (though you can import your Rebirth progress into AB/AB+) and go back to the Base game experience.

It's entirely up to you. Some challenges and endings will unlock powerful items which could help you progress through the tougher experience presented by the DLC's. The tradeoff to this is that you may have to revisit previously completed characters to complete the new endings added by the DLC's.
Personally I'd stick with Rebirth as you learn the game. Not only is it easier, there's a ton of content already there and it'll take a while to learn everything there is to. Once you're familiar with enemy attack patterns, Item effects and hidden mechanics you can decide if you want more content.
