Asap
I suggest doing this ASAP for two reasons:
1) Many have experienced delays of months. Some say paying for expedited does not help.
2) A large number of countries - possibly most, I'm not sure- will not let you in unless you have 6 months or more to go on your passport.
I concur about Global Entry. Little known fact:
I was not scheduled for TSA pre-check. I asked why not at the check-in desk. The clerk asked to see my physical Global Entry card. She moved me to TSA pre-check on the spot.
So, travel with the Global Entry card wherever you go.
