Hi there,
It's most common to work for 4-6 years before starting the MBA, so applying when you have 3-5 years of experience. In terms of what path -- the best thing is to focus on what you think will most help you with your future, post-MBA career goals... and that will come across best to the admissions committee too as you explain the choices you made. As for test scores, you can view the average scores at top Business Schools on the US News & World Report ranking; on Businessweek.com profiles, and/or on the school websites. For top 10 schools the averages are around 700-730 (GMAT), fyi.
Good luck!
