My fiance is in India. I am applying for my citizenship soon. Have been trying to find out information on this. Please advice..

Is it advisable to wait till citizenship to get married? it is really hard to bring spouse on green card now?

Also once you become citizen, which of these visa options are better. FIANCE VISA (K-1) vs. SPOUSE VISA (K-3)?
 
It makes no difference when you marry. You can only apply as a citizen to avoid 5 year visa wait. So your waiting time will be same regardless. Only difference is you have to mark on N-400 as married or single, which does not affect anything.

As for K-1 vs K-3, there is no conclusive study that shows either is better. Just your preferance how you want to do it. With fiance visa, you have an option to back out of marriage if you choose so after spending some time with your fiance (maybe finding out you're not compatible).
