I am planning to travel to UZ from Turkmenistan, and visit Khiva, Bukhara, Smarkand.
Which border do you suggest to cross, in terms of convenience and transportation?
p.s. In Turkmenistan, I will plan to visit door to hell (the main point) and merv ( if time is available)
border:
1. dashoguz - urgench
(seem hard to find transport from door to hell to dashoguz and I have to stay in Teahouse overnight?)
OR
2. farab - alat (bukhara)
After day trip door to hell then i can spend 1 night in Mary before crossing the border.
from Mary to border, is it possible to make it on the same day?
Thank you for your advice.
which border should I choose to get to UZ

Farap-Alat for you. Get a taxi to door to hell and back from Ashgabat, then go to Merv. Mary to Bukhara can be done in one day.

1 more question:
After border crossing, Samarkand or Khiva should be my 2nd place ? (Tashkent must be my final destination)
Enter Bukhara --> Samarkand --> Khiva --> Tashkent (leave) ?

If you're doing Khiva, I would exit at Dashogus. You can take the night from Ashgabat to Mary/Bayramaly and back. Not much sleep, but it's efficient. Then visit Dashogus (people have done it by train), and hopefully add in a stop at Konye Urgench as well if you do it by vehicle.

But i will visit door to hell
if I choose dashoguz, it seems hard to find transport from door to hell to dashoguz and I have to stay in Teahouse overnight?

If you check the reports there are people who have taken the train, and many stay at the crater.
