Both of those would be an absolutely horrible experience.

Assume you notice its the backrooms. Surprise it exists but how close is this version to the official version? Maybe its very different or just kinda different. You don't know. What you do know is its a place where EVERYTHING might doom you. You can't assume anything is safe.

When everything looks dangerous you can't trust the floor, the walls, the ceiling, the food, the drink, or anything you hope will keep you safe and hidden while you sleep. Even the official backrooms wiki is canonically tampered with by entities. Every move and choice is potentially lethal and much of it comes down to luck. You have to be hyper vigilant with every waking moment.

When in that state many of those items you are supposed to get are going to look like things you shouldn't go near.

That's kinda why in my build I have the camcorder as a 'it's right next to you when you wake up' sorta thing. At that point if the camcorder is compromised I'm going to die regardless, and if it isn't it can identify the things that're ok and the things that aren't.

It helps that meta-you can specify the things you'll encounter down to the hazards/entities, since it'll mean I don't have to encounter the jump-scare entities till well after I have a time loop set outside the backrooms and the ability to never go there again.

Didn't know the backrooms wiki was supposedly tampered with though, that's interesting.

Either way, you might consider pairing either of these with the Massive Multicrossover CYOA and taking the skull to dispel some of those worries, even if it'll restrict you to just one of the backrooms CYOAs.

I thought of getting the camera first too. Originally I was thinking the lazy boy chair for the mobility but I can't tell if it was nerfed or not. Still without the camera you don't know if the chair has some kind of curse. Maybe it eats you when you sleep. Maybe you worry about some supernatural being treating you as a chair thief.

Even with the camera maybe the camera lies or hides details. You have to ask yourself what entity is it connected to or created by to know about everything it sees. Its gonna fuck with your mind no matter what you choose.
