Came back after a long break, need some opinions

Took a break from DNM's for quite a while and clearly a lot has changed. Been reading quite a bit so I'm just trying confirm everything and get everyone's opinions.

Since BTC is shit now, I'm trying to invest in Monero. I'm under the impression that purchasing BTC through Coinbase and then exchanging for XMR through sites like Evercoin is the best method to obtain Monero.

One question is what is the most preferred exchange service? Everytime I've looked at Evercoin XMR is unavailable, I've heard Changelly is a good alternative.

Also, what is everyone's thoughts on simply keeping a Monero wallet on a seperate computer not on TAILS and just send straight to vendor? (I don't bother with markets anymore since Hansa and Alpha are gone, mainly stick to TMG and GG.) I've read it's pretty much okay, obviously it's not the best OPSEC possible, I have multiple uses for XMR so honestly it would be the most convenient method for me.

One last question, been looking into 4-aco-dmt lately and two vendors on TMG have piqued my interest: LlamaSocks and MrPBateman. (AFAIK neither are concerned with being mentioned on Reddit, if I'm mistaken I will delete this post immediately.) Both are UK based vendors, Llama as far as I know has been around longer with slightly higher prices. However, Bateman is cheaper and also offers 4-ho-met which I wouldn't mind snatching. Both seem like very reputable vendors so my main concern is shipping times, honestly, but any more opinions would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Regarding shipping times I forgot to mention I reside in the Western US.

Thank you all very much.
