to bond street crossrail vs HEX there definitely isn't much in it time wise. HEX may be quicker but you only go to Paddington so still need to get something else to go further on. in fact if you put T5 to Bond Street in to TfL journey planner for today you get results showing at most about 6-7 minutes difference between the two (both are about 41-48 minutes.
the important point is not to wait at T5 until the next crossrail - get whatever is going first. if it is HEX then get off at T2&T3 as you should be able to pick up a crossrail train coming from T4 on the same platform.
