Default I need your opinion

If I wanted to upgrade my 4" to 8" screen and install a backup camera, would it be better to have ford dealer do them or go to places like Best buy and have them install it?

Are you sure the dealer is willing to do that? It won't be supported by Ford:

SSM 46332 - 2008-2017 Various Ford/Lincoln/Mercury Vehicles - Replacing/Upgrading Original Equipment SYNC/Navigation System Components Is Not Supported

Replacing the original equipment SYNC/Navigation system with either an aftermarket SYNC/Navigation kit or modifying original SYNC/Navigation parts to provide additional features is not recommended nor supported on any Ford, Mercury or Lincoln vehicle. Only approved Genuine Ford accessories or originally installed systems are supported and certified to function correctly with other vehicle systems. If you suspect a system has been modified, the following resources can be used to verify original equipment: Monroney Label (Window Sticker), Professional Technician Society (PTS) OASIS tab – select SYNC or HVBOM. For Genuine Ford accessories use: PTS Workshop Tab – select Dealer Installed Accessory or Accessory Installation.

As far as Best Buy, my experience and many others with them has been horrible. Please use a reputable shop which Best Buy is not.

I would probably put an aftermarket android head unit in.

This.

Find a quality audio shop. They normally aren't on the corner, the best ones don't have to advertise.
