Questions about AOS and CP

My Perm Labor got approved yesterday and now my attorney states that even before filing for 140 one needs to tell whether they want to go for AOS or CP route. As far as my knowledge goes one needs to decide about this before filing 485. Can any one please clarify this?

Also, I am on my 2nd year of H1 and would like to know if it is true that if one decides to go CP route and if the priority date does not come before the 6 yrs H1 period is over then the candidate has to leave the country and start over the entire process of GC only on the next H1 trip? If not, can I stay in the USA even after my 6 yrs H1 period gets over and wait for my CP interview with 3 yrs extensions? Please advice.

Shyam.
 
Looking at the way things are moving, you will be lucky if you can get to file your 485 in another 5 or 6 years.
