Hi Enrique,
It makes sense to get the OPT before applying for the green card, because you may not be able to get the extension once the I-140/I-485 is filed. This is due to the so-called conflict of intents (immigrant vs. nonimmigrant). Getting F1-OPT before filing for the green card does not create the conflict.
