Depends on what your goals are. What do you want to achieve using BGP on these routers? Do you want the Branch A router to learn all the routes from Branch B and HQ and do path selection on its own? Should Branch B simply default route to Branch B and HQ and let those routers make the outbound transit decision? Do you want to prefer one exit path vs another? ...etc...etc...
