Solo Trip to Pompeii

I am planning to travel to Pompeii from Perugia. I have been looking around at the best choices, but am getting confused as to which station is best to arrive at. Is Pompeii Scavi the best choice for coming into the site? Or should I book a train to Naples then take the Circumvesuviana to the pompeii station?

Additionally, I will be travelling on my own. Is it recommended that I buy tickets in advance for the park and a tour? How long do trip to pompeii generally last?

Greetings,
Pompeii Scavi is your best choice. Buy a skip the line admission ticket online ahead of your planned day of arrival. I can't speak to guided tours, we explored on our own. Arrive as early in the day as possible to get ahead of crowds and avoid heat everything is in direct sunlight. We spent 3 hours but could have spent many more
