I wouldn't transfer until after I dry hopped when I was ready to keg, or in your case bottle. But I think you've established that you want to clean an extra fermenter and risk oxidation

When homebrewing with glass carboys, I like to wait until I'm 2-3 plato from target and then transfer from my primary into a secondary that has the hops already in it. You'll get a nice CO2 blanket, and the O2 you do pick up will be taken up by the still-active yeast. You only need 3 days at the most to get the hop aroma out of your dry hop charge, which should be enough time to hit your target gravity (although going a little bit longer isn't going to hurt you).
