Swiss Travel Pass

I'll visit Switzerland in November.

Day1 : I arrive at Geneva Airport and go to Leukerbad. Stay 1 night.
Day2 : I go up to Basel. I'll stay there 3 nights.

Once I go to Basel, I may just hang around. I don't think I will go to other far places like Zurich.

In this case, what would be the best choice of purchasing tickets for transportation? I think "Swiss Travel Pass 3 days" is more expensive than just purchasing train tickets (Geneva - Leukerbad, Leukerbad - Basel). Am I right?
Where can I purchase those tickets? I've searched some websites. However I don't know if they're trustworthy. And I'd like to know if there's any unofficial, but trustworthy and cheaper website. Purchasing tickets online is better than offline, right?

Should you buy a Swiss Pass?

More likely than not, it's more worth it to get the Swiss Travel Pass. It's especially true if you're taking Switzerland's famous scenic trains which are usually the most expensive. The pass easily pays for itself if you plan well and maximises the use of the Swiss Travel Pass.
