TN->GC is possible, there is no need to go on H1 first.

Hello cdn_dude,
So you don't need a H1 to apply for a GC. Which means as long as you have an employment ( TN or H1 ) you can apply for the GC.
1. Risk with the TN is that it has to be renewed every year and I know cases where people had trouble getting it renewed. If it does not get renewed then one has to get a H1 which itself is not easy these days. Correct?
2.With a TN or a H1 you will have to get the Labor Approval ( 1st Stage of GC ), If I get a L1A I can skip stage 1 and makes the process faster.
L1A is much better than a H1 / TN correct ?
Thanks.

-- Yes. But the TN denial is mainly due to the mistakes comitted by the applicants (like the mismatch between their education and job). If your case is starightforward, TN is almost guaranteed.

-- Only from skipping LC point of view. But if your employer is not willing to start your GC fast enough, this advantage becomes void.

If I know that my employer will file my GC after I land with a L1A, it will then be much faster than any other option correct?

-- Correct, only if your employer starts your GC (starts I-140) immediately after you join with the L1A visa.

In worst case scenario if I land with a L1A and my sponsor does not apply for my GC later what are the alternatives.
I need to swtich to another employer and ask him to file for GC. Correct?
Thanks.

Correct, but using another status - like TN. That's why, before getting onto the L1 boat, it is a good idea to confirm the GC things with your future employer to avoid job switching hassles in the future.
