Option 1. Get married file a petition now. Currently it is taking around nine months for I130 to be approved. Once your case is approved you need to check the visa bulletin. Last September the visa was current for spouse of LPR. However, it is unpredictable when it is gonna happen again. So you are looking at around 3 years for your spouse to be adjusted. Remember she needs to maintain her legal status during all that time.
Option 2. Get naturalized. File concurrent petition for your spouse. No need for visa bulletin as immediate family of USC. Even if she is NOT in status at that time as long as she entered with inspection, adjustment should be fine (provided no other issues)
If you file for her now, you can always upgrade to spouse of citizen after your citizenship.
