Hey CM
First of all good luck on your path, whichever it may be. I hope your wife supports you and stays by your side.
Regarding BO VS HRT well... HRT is definitely better as it's stronger and it would be taken under medical supervision. Once your HRT routing has been established, you can add BO along with it. But for the first months, probably a year at least, you shouldn't cross streams.
One thing about who you will become, and this is something I said to many trans people: be realistic. Unless you have a magic wand or a million dollars to invest in surgery, you will probably not become 100% what you wish to become. It's normal. I am firmly in the males staying males field because I can't transition into a 18 years-old KPop cute idol girl, I had to accept that a long time ago. I would suggest you look at other people's transitions to see what is realistic to achieve and to expect. This is not to scare you, but to make sure that you feel happy with what you'll get in the end. Keeping a realistic outlook will also help people around you accept who you are becoming.
Good luck!
