Pyraminx option - X man Bell v2
4x4 - yjmgc magnetic

You already have significant experience with 3x3. So I vote 4x4 since it has significant overlap. (You also say you're busy with school, so picking an easier-to-learn event seems like a good idea.)

Pyraminx takes approximately 17 seconds to learn, so I'd say learn both.

4x4 is fun

It’s actually true pyraminx takes barely any time to LEARN. mastery and finger tricks is a completely different realm

4x4 is the better event.
Knowing 4x4 gives you basic knowledge for 5x5, you just need a couple more algs.

I main pyraminx but I have to agree. While it is easy to learn, mastering fingertricks, efficiency, and tps is a completely different thing. 4x4 is good because you can basically solve all big cubes with slight modifications of the stuff you learn from 4x4.

Is it necessary to take all the pieces apart of a 4x4 to lube it?

Not nessicarily, it depends on how far into the setup you wanna get.
I pull out an edge(wing) and put Weight 5 on the inner section of the piece.
Then I put it back and put a drop of DNM in between each layer, and break in
