Back from my hiatus - what's the best plan?

- Heriot-Watt University https://www.ebsglobal.net/programmes/mba-online
Pros: World Class, No Bachelor Required, No GMAT - pass three of the exams and you're officially enrolled.
Cons: World Class partly because it is known for being tough, Total cost is likely higher than your options to finish a Bachelor and then MBA through say WGU or Walden. Possible con it is many US employers may not recognize it's world-wide distinction (in the US we like our domestic programs); additionally they may be thrown in how it is even possible to have an MBA without a bachelor degree.

2) If I have to complete my Bachelors where would you recommend? With updated degree programs I'm sure I'd be lucky to transfer in 90 credits. Especially considering cost, what are the better options out there?

Looking at the list of credits you already have I think it would be money well spend to finish up at TESU, even if that is with a BSBA-GM vs Accounting.  Your missing AOS credits would be easily found through study.com (and get you the discounts the affiliation offers). You are So Close to having a BSBA.  If not through TESU, some others may be able to let you know how these would transfer over to COSC (at a lower overall cost).  I'm leaving WGU off as a bachelor option, as I think they would be better suited for your MBA plans. Although Walden is also an affordable competency based option for the MBA; you'd have to look at the concentration options.  I personally like different schools for undergrad and graduate (it shows a more diverse and well rounded education, imo).  I think you could finish the bachelor and the MBA (combined) for the same cost, and faster, as the Heriot-Watt MBA (I don't necessarily think 5 years work experience is enough for that program - it's tough -  knowledge and experience will count towards passing those rigorous exams)
