It's your choice bro.
If you don't worry about your privacy, you can use exchange to receive payment since you will most likely convert it to fiat without any delay, it's better than wasting $5 on a fee now because that amount is worth ₦6k in Naira currency and you can use it for other things you want. But if you don't want to sell to fiat, why not live your thing in the wallet and consolidate everything until after it calm down.
Regarding your client, if you need the money fastly, you can do CPFP transaction since you said you use electrum wallet, you can do that but you will be the one to be paying the fee for the parent transaction( the client transaction) and your own transaction(child transaction) I.e if you don't mind the fees. However, if you are not ready to finance the fee, go ahead and use the exchange but not that you will have to do kyc which will harm your privacy.
