Spoiler, click me
The dialogue probably changes if you play B&W first, so I guess it's fine either way.
That being said, I'd actually highly suggest playing each story line on its own to enjoy them separately and without interruptions.
The HoS story is probably my favorite.

I don't remember any HoS elements being mentionned in B&W... What you are referring to is part of the main story line and it proves that B&W happens after everything else. Anyway with it's ending sequence, there is no doubt left.
As for HoS, aside from Countess Mignole, I don't find any evidences that it happens after the main story.
Personnally, I start HoS just before the final battle with Eredin. It still makes sense with Countess Mignole and I have a fancy of finishing the main game with the Viper gear from HoS... Feels like going full circle with the beginning of the game, bringing a little of Vesemir to the final battle and looking similar, gear wise. Kind of poetic? :)
But does it really matter? It's all up to you as long as you're having fun.

Good point about Countess Mignole, it gives at least some time point reference. I bought the diagrams from her, but I'm still level 36 and they are 39. And I didn't really rush the main story, which led to suggested levels for it being lower than my current one. So I assume having level 39 by the end of the main story is quite uncommon.

Did you keep the Borsody quest line last? My memory is not clear about it, but I'm quite sure I wore the Viper gears for the final HoS quest, where you'll find the Viper silver sword, btw. I don't remember having to do any special, "gymnastic" to get the required level... Thinking about it, have you got the Steel Sword diagram in Borsody's Vault? Don't want to spoil you anything but both blades are easy to miss.
I usually do the quests by recommended levels and when there are many same level quests, I keep the main quests last.

Hardest, but not because of level requirements... It's more of a... logistical difficulty?

Of course, it's fine however you play.
I play on easy mode with extra mods that save me time and make me immortal and overpowered. :)
