the SWAP.HIVE-SWAP.BNB pool on Hive-Engine has lower liquidity (this might not be an issue if you are moving few LEOs)
once on the Binance Smart Chain, you have to bridge and swap your BNB to ETH on Arbitrum, as you don't want to buy bLEO but native LEO, so you have more swap fees to pay (plus the slippage)
The cheapest path in my esperience is going through ETH. And when you arrive on Ethereum (if you want to keep gas fees as low as possible) you can bridge your ETH from Ethereum to Arbitrum and then swap it for native LEO. To Bridge ETH from Ethereum to Arbitrum on average I paid 0.04$ in gas fees (plus the fee of the bridge), so it’s pretty affordable :)
It’s cheaper, but you have 2 disadvantages:
