Am I a good candidate for AGGA + CAB?

I have a maxilla that's pretty well developed forward but lacking a bit in transverse width, whereas my mandible has enough width but lacks forward growth. My maxillary teeth form a v-shaped arc and I have anterior crowding, however my wisdom teeth on the top are coming in with no problems. At the same time, my mandibular teeth are pretty straight without ever having orthodontic intervention, but my lower wisdoms are impacted and growing in at an angle towards my molars. Also, my mandibular anterior teeth are flared out a bit and I have a weak chin. 

My eye support and cheekbones are great and my frontal profile looks amazing (besides the anterior crowding ruining the way my lips look), it's just my side profile that's bad. 

The reason I'm considering FAGGA + CAB is because they both really help develop enough space in both dimensions for the teeth. I'm mainly concerned about gaining enough space for my third molars to properly erupt in my mandible, but I'm not sure if pushing the alveolar process more forward is the proper way to go about it in my case. What I'm wondering is if simply expanding both arches would allow for proper eruption of my mandibular third molars and fix the anterior crowding of my maxilla. Will I need FAGGA for my mandible for more forward space, or will simply expanding with just CAB produce way better results? 

I have been advised by my dentist to remove ALL my wisdom teeth, mainly because my lower wisdom teeth are pushing up against the molars instead of growing in straight. I cancelled the procedure, but still signed the consent papers in case I changed my mind. I'm willing to get them removed if my bottom ones become trouble, but since my top ones are just fine and there's no reason to remove them, I'm keeping them for now. 

I want your input on this. I'm highly considering getting AGGA + CAB since there is a provider near me, or just CAB if it's cheaper/better. They also provide biobloc too.

I'm not familiar with a lower/mandibular FAGGA appliance. The forward expansion of the upper/maxillary FAGGA can sometimes create space for the lower jaw to swing forward to some extent. Is that what you mean?
