Always thank them and look sincire. That can’t hurt. Do consider it thoroughly, and when possible, show them you acted upon it, for example in your next task, when giving an update, give it in such a way than mentions said advice, even if you took another path, and explain you considerations then.
From my experience, people are not interested in the best professional outcome as much as they are interested in having some meaning, weight or control. Use it to your advantage to get ahead
If the advice was garbage and you know it, try to explain why it was good advice “although I had to do x y since the advice is more fitting if we were dealing with a b”
