Stage 4 prostate Cancer: Firmagon + Abiraterone?

I am new to the prostate forum. I want to know how to compare brachytherapy plus possible ADT (e.g. luperon) for 3 to 4 months to radical prostectamy (hopefully nerve-sparing). Which has the greatest chance of permanent cure and which has the greatest likelihood of all side effects (especially incontinence and ED) disappearing after say 6 months.thanks
