Do counters of opposite types cancel each other? For example putting a +1/+1 counter on a creature with a -1/-1 counter.
The end result is they cancel each other, but they don't remove each other. You can have +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters on a creature at the same time.

Actually they do remove each other. You can't have both.
If you have 3 +1/+1 counters, and it gets 2 -1/-1 counters on it it ends up with 1 +1/+1 counter

This is true. The smaller number of counters are removed:
121.3. (http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?action=imtg;area=rule;number=121.3.): If a permanent has both a +1/+1 counter and a -1/-1 counter on it, N +1/+1 and N -1/-1 counters are removed from it as a state-based action, where N is the smaller of the number of +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters on it. See rule 704.
I feel victorious i beat you to the answer. Lol

On this note, this is why sticking a {Glistening Oil} on your {Protean Hydra} is so much fun
Edit: Found it XD
Any hydra is good with that card
