Versions I prefer, especially for writing:

Keep It Simple and Succinct, or Keep It Simple and Salient,

the latter one doesn't work as well, since you almost always have to explain that in the context "salient" means "to the point".

The latter one doesn't work at all, since it sounds rather like you're ignoring the very advice you're trying to give.
