You can do it either way. We arranged it through our agent, but I really don't think it makes much of a difference. When you go to Sankar, you are required to use a Pa-o guide. So arrange for a boat, a driver and the Pa-o guide (no need for an additional guide).

I felt there was no need for a guide to Sankar. In the past (though I've heard from some this is no longer true) you had to pick up a Pa-O guide when you paid for your entry permit to Sankar. Ask your hotel if you want a guide, first clarifying whether you will automatically be assigned a guide when you stop at Golden Isle Cottages for the permit.

The advantage of using TA is that you'll know how much it is in advance and be able to pay them when you first get there. The rates that were quoted by our hotel were slightly higher than the TA, but more importantly, it would mean that we had make sure we had enough cash to pay them when we arrived.
