Confusion: Green card through TPS or Green card through H1 and work permit through TPS?

Hi Everyone,

I recently got a job as a junior developer. I am on OPT and my OPT will expire in 3 months (Oct, 2019). I am planning on applying for work permit through TPS. How early should I apply to get it on time before my OPT expires. I am maintaining my f1 status and I want to keep doing that. I don't want TPS work permit to cancel my OPT work permit if I apply it way before my OPT expires (I know it usually takes 90 days) because I want to join school/class in 5 months (in March 2019) as we are allowed to do that. I need time to learn for my new job.

My another concern is can I apply a green card through TPS or is it a better idea to apply for a green card after getting selected for h1?

Please guys let me know what do you think and any suggestions, any experience
