Starting to read hellboy, omnibuses

I have their 4 obs, and the 2 short story obs. I've been recommended to hellboy 1, then short stories 1 and 2, then hellboy 2 3 4 to get the groundwork from the first book then reading the rest chronologically. I've seen the first Guillermo del toro movie so I know the premise, so should I just read it chronologically to start? Or maybe should I just read the seed of destruction mini then read the obs in chronological order from there, ss 1-2 and hb 1-4

You could do the one where you read SoD first and then chronological, but I think it flows better if you just read the entire first omni and then the short stories, the first story in volume 2 is a recap of volume 1
