With regards to which visa to apply, best is to assess this once you've got the skills assessment outcome and English test result. A lot of things can happen by the time you're ready to lodge your EOI, i.e. Change of rules, states closing/opening lists for sponsorship.
Engaging an agent is a personal choice. Speaking both as someone who has done the Australian journey at the same time being an agent myself. It can be done naman on your own but it requires a lot of research and making sure you've got the most updated policy. During my time, I did my student visa myself as it was very straight forward but when it was skilled visa application na, I attempted to do things my own but I found the more info I get the more confusing it was so I ended up using an agent for my peace of mind na rin as I didn't want to mess things up with my application.
Good luck!
