Is 35mm gonna be a problem with portraits? I don't wanna go making people's heads look huge or having weird distortion like that. Curious as to what your experience is.

You can try setting your kit lens to 35mm to see what the perspectives will look like for portraits. I find that it's fine unless I'm really close. Here's a pretty tight shot with the 35mm and I think you are starting to see a little distortion in her face. Not terrible, though.
And I would go with the 35mm first for the reasons that Inkista mentioned. It'll be much easier to get up and running with. You'll get to strobes eventually
