Arriving CDG airport on a Friday in September with final destination Reims. I’m allowing 3 hours for baggage, customs. I would like to book a train ticket in advance should I buy through Rail Europe or Trainline? Ideally I would like to book transportation to my hotel in Reims from Champagne-Ardennes TGV station any recommendations?

You can buy the ticket that includes a local connecting train from Champagne-Ardennes to Reims city center. If you buy the ticket in advance, you take some risk if you flight is severely delayed. Keep an eye on the cancellation conditions of the train ticket.
Between the 2, I'd go with Trainline.

I did the same trip last year. My plane landed at about 7:30am and I was at the CDG train station at about 9:00am. There was a train at about 9:30am but I had bought the ticket for a train around 11;00am so I had to wait for a couple of hours. I bought the ticket with Omio. I don’t know if the CDG to Reims train sells out, if it doesn’t, I would buy the ticket once you arrive, even if it cost a little more. Waiting around wasn’t fun after the overnight flight.
