Getting married before applying to N400 and adding spouse name will be a good option or applying N400 now and getting married then later on applying for I-130 will be good option. Which is recommendable?

The I-130 took very long for us, while the couples that did not get married and filed the I-129F were much faster.

EXCEPT if you are not a USC you cannot file for K-1 visa.

Get married, file for CR-1 visa and once you get your citizenship call and upgrade your petition. I-130 these days takes around 6 months for approval which is the same as for K-1.
