I went with a TC article for the specific reason of getting an HN post out of it.

This led to waiting an extra week or two to launch, was generally a hassle, etc. And our article hit in the afternoon on the west coast, vs. at a reasonable hour on the east coast.

In the future I'd probably just post directly to HN. Getting to pick the time of the HN post is probably worth more than the incremental value of TC. TC might be worthwhile for funding announcements, but I'd never use it for a product announcement.
