I always dive slightly (very slightly!) negative (not an option in the summer- w/o an exposure suit of some nature I'm negative with steels no matter what . The advice you're getting sounds right. When I started using a drysuit, I found that I was just enough too positive at the end of the dive to hover at a safety stop. Play around with your weights- I throw 1 lb into the back of my wing, others need more, etc.
You may also benefit from having another diver view you during your ascent-safety stop. I asked a good dive partner to watch me at the end of a few dives (for different condiitons/final psi) & we discussed his findings. That really helped fine-tune my bouyancy and weighting.
Have fun, dive safe, live well.
