I would say the best time is a week before the applications come out (so some time in July). This way you would maximize your application time. Although if you feel you aren't ready pushing applications to round 2 isn't going to hurt your chances as opposed to getting a low score on the GMAT.

GMAT scores are good for 5 years so there's no reason to wait, plus you want to give yourself time to retake it if you don't get the score you want. If I was in your situation I would start my 2-3 months of serious prep now and plan on taking it in June or July. That way you could retake it in mid/late-August if necessary and still have over a month to devote to your R1 applications. Essays will be nerve-wracking enough by themselves--you don't want to be juggling GMAT prep with essay writing.
Then again an exact answer all depends on what score you're shooting for, how close you currently are to it, how much time per day/week you'll be able to study, when you'd be available to take the GMAT, what the R1 deadlines are for your particular schools, etc.
