It depends...

Depending on your itinerary.

If you are starting in HK, just wait and get a visa there. As a US citizen, you don't need a visa to enter HK. It will be quicker and cheaper, and you can often charge it to your hotel room.

One day turnaround. Take official passport photos with you - get a package of 4 at Kinko's stateside before you go. If you get over there and forget the pics, you can easily get them locally. There's a little photo shop behind the Sheraton on the Kowloon side that can do it in a short turnaround.

If you aren't starting in HK - more common now as HK slides ever more quickly into the abyss from its former dominance of the "gateway to China" position. get it done stateside before you go.

Go ahead and get a multi-entry.
