Well whatever path you follow, the music theory won't change. If you enjoy learning theory, then learn it. You'll find it easy to learn (because you enjoy it) and you'll often find it very useful in a lot of situations. It's a huge subject, though, so my advice is that you keep it relevant and related to the type of guitarist you are. For example, if you're not into jazz, then memorising all those fancy sounding jazz modes, such as the "lydian dominant" or the "super locrian" would be pretty much a waste of time.
