Are you going to be carrying luggage?

One HUGE backpack.

In that case, the best advice I can give you is: When on trains, TAKE
IT OFF AND PUT IT ON THE FLOOR, please.

Oh, I will. I'm going to be carrying the darn thing for most of the
following two weeks so any opportunities to get it off my back will suit me
as well as my fellow-travellers on the Tube.

And yes, you should be best off changing at Holborn.

Still tempted to Circle Line to Paddington, then Heathrow Express...

You have more spare money than I do, evidently. I don't believe it's
worth the £14.50-£17.50 fare [1] unless (a) one starts from a point
close to Paddington, and (b) one has multiple heavy bags.
