Where to Pre-Order iPhone 5? Apple or Verizon? Verizon Plan?

Hi, so I plan to pre-order the iPhone 5 tomorrow morning, but I'm not sure where I should do this. I have Verizon, so should I preorder on their website, or Apple's (assuming the website is up and running)? I plan to do this around 6:30 am Central time, so about 4 hours in. Is this soon enough? I'd like to make sure I get it on the 21st.

Also, I'm part of a family plan that we've had on verizon. We have two iPhone 4's both with unlimited because we were allowed to keep it on those phones after they removed unlimited option. The other two phones in the plan are basic phones, and the iPhone 5 will only be replacing one of the basic phones right now. So will it make us change the plan right then and there during preorder from verizon or something? And when we do have to change to a share everything plan, is 6 gb data er month enough for 2 moderate/slightly-heavy data users, one moderate/low data user, and one non-data using basic phone?

Thanks in advance!

-Josh

(Both Verizon and Apple pre-orders I'm talking about are online.)

All of those sites will be available for order processing at 12:01 am Pacific Daylight Time. However, your transaction sounds as if it will be somewhat complicated. You might expect that your order may be too complex to process via the on-line service and that you'll have to actually go to a Verizon store on the 21st to transact your arrangement.

Can anyone tell me exactly what the process or preordering is? Or have pics or a video of it? I'd just like to know how it works on apple's website with connecting to verizon and entering information regarding that or whatever.

Thanks

It is very simple. At the aforementioned time you point your browser to http://www.apple.com/store click the links on the store that are representative of the iPhone 5, choose your carrier, enter the requested information and follow the pages. Just like placing an order on most any e-commerce site.
