Platform fees for the beginner..

I was all set to start my S&S ISA journey with HL but held off as I'd read about the fee changes. I think I now understand how platform & fund fees work but would love it if someone more knowledgable to confirm.
My plan is simple. I plan to fill an S&S ISA each year with the Vanguard LS funds. This year's will be filled over the next couple of months but after that it will be equal monthly payments.
I think that II will work out cheapest over the longterm with CS cheapest for years 1-3.
Assuming this is correct, is worth starting with CS and switching in Year 3?
