AOR Received - should I apply for Visit Visa or SOWP?

I have a couple of questions regarding the process of being with my spouse in Canada more quickly.

Should I apply for a visitor visa, and upon arrival in Canada, apply for a Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP), or apply directly for SOWP.

If I apply for visit visa, in the "How much money do you have for your stay in Canada?" section, should I indicate the total funds in my and spouse's bank account or just the budgeted amount for the stay?

For context, my spouse is a naturalized Canadian citizen and currently employed (if this makes a difference)
