Lots of good advice already on the first question, but the second one seems unaddressed ...
Since I'm new should I go for the bng? Or the hh or hr.

The BNG has a very limited menu - one activity, no warm-up, no chatter afterward. You're expected to be in an out in ten or fifteen minutes. There's also a QV option where CFS is the main activity, but it's otherwise similar: no warm-up, no warm-down, just hit it and hit the road. I tend to be a slow starter and my preference is a more leisurely and sensual encounter, so I've never tried either of these - just seems very mechanical/impersonal and trying to "beat the clock" would make it less pleasant - but some prefer it that way, particularly if you're asocial or antisocial.
The HH gives you a little time before the festivities to get comfortable, get in a few activities at a more leisurely pace, and relax a little while after before you hit the road. With the HH session, most providers will offer you a shower before you go should you need it - that generally does not happen (and it would likely be rude to ask) for the short sessions.
The full hour is leisurely - you'll be able to take your time, chat and relax, engage in a lot of warm-up activities, try a few different things. If you're a bottle rocket you might be able to go for MSOG, otherwise you can take it slow and easy then hang out and relax a while before you go back to the world. It feels a bit more natural all in all, slow-paced and social.
Thus considered, I'd suggest starting in the middle - do the HH session. If it feels a bit rushed, go for the full hour in future sessions. If you "peak" early and feel you're hanging around an awkwardly long time afterward, then you can downgrade to BNG/QV the next time.
