My wife's employer ( she is also on H1 B) will file her LCA for GC in next week in California. I guess LCA approval takes about 18 months.

In next 6 months or so, if I find a company who has pre approved LCA for my job, and want to join them, 1) Can there be any problem in comleting my GC through them (I-140, 485) because of my wife's pending LCA under her case?
 
No problems there

Both the GC process can go simultaneously without any issues. You can later decide whether you take your residency as a dependent on your spouse's approval or vice versa, depending upon which case moves faster.

PS: This is my understanding on the subject, please do take other's opinion on this as well before you take any action.
 
Titu is right

One can have any number of LCs and I-140 processed simultaneously with different companies, though you can file only for one AOS (I-485). and it is based on any one and only one I-140. So you have to decide whose 140 to use to file for I-485 at the time of applying I-485.
