In terms of changing from HIVE to HBD I always use Hive-Wallet. If the HIVE is already there, then I'm pretty sure there is no fee to change from one to the other. The only thing is that the price of HIVE is so low at the moment ($0.315), its maybe worth seeing if it increases over the coming days. If you wait until it hit $0.35 that would be 10% more HBD.
In terms of pools I wouldnt call myself an expert and it depends on what rewards there are, etc. @tydynrain is the person I'd ask about pools.
Haha, I'm torn between a lower price for HIVE so I can buy some more and higher price so I can buy some HBD! I agree about the pools, perhaps @tydynrain or @mypathtofire will come by to comment.
I've had a fair bit of experience in a lot of different diesel/liquidity pools, so I could likely give some useful perspectives. The best place to look for detailed information about the various pools and what they offer is BeeSwap. When you're looking at the pools there, just make sure to remember to choose the fully-expanded view, which will show what liquidity rewards a pool gives daily, as well as the APR, and the number of days until the rewards end. I usually only choose pools that provide daily rewards, unless there is some notable benefit, such as with the SWAP.HIVE:VOUCHER pool which pays out in SPS that is claimable on Splinterlands.com.
