People do get nice numbers with HCG only, even top of the range- but it can be very difficult to find right dosage, and again it same thing can happen again- you may get numbers but not the "feel".
Best option (IMO) is to start with HCG and then take it from there, there will be lot of "tweaking" till you get into right place.
As for AI, it really depends from person to person- both HCG and "straight" testosterone shots aromatise, testosterone gel on other hand converts a lot to DHT, but people say its inconvinient and it seems that is more difficult to maintain stable levels.
