Hello, I'm currently on an H1B waiting on my priority date (I'm Canadian but born in China), my H1B hits the 6 year mark next year. My wife is currently on a TN which expires next year.

Should she switch to H4 EAD under my H1B instead of renewing her TN?

She has not filed a green card application so she probably won't have an issue renewing her TN but if CBP or USCIS connects her to you, questions might be raised about her intent which could undermine her ability to renew her TN. So, yes, an H-4 EAD would be safer (unless the current administration kills this benefit).

We are married so are there steps we can take to decrease the chance of them "connect" her to me? Should we avoid crossing the border together?

I can't comment on that unfortunately.
