It's kind of funny that my car has all the things you're considering so I can maybe help out with this one too.
Opti-coat (or Opti-guard) is basically a secondary clear coat that you would get. Basically it only provides chemical protection, unlike a clear bra that physical protection so you don't get chips. The opti-coat is almost like a permanent wax, it keeps your paint looking brand new and every time you wash it even with just water and nothing else, it looks like your car was just waxed/detailed. Get the idea? It also protects against damage from road salts and what not.
The only thing is though that if you want to get this done, it should be done before you do a clear bra, because the opti-coat treatment goes on top of the clear coat after getting a paint-correction and then a clear bra on top. If you do clear bra first, you can still get the rest of the car opti-coated, but then any parts of your car that were already covered in clear bra will have all those fine scratches, imperfections sealed in and opti-coat won't be able to fix that.
I had mine opti-guarded (the pro version of opti-coat) the night I picked my car up, and then covered in Xpel-ultimate the next day (a higher end version of clear bra that self-heals any scratches that get on it. It really does work).
Hope it helps you and anyone else interested in opti-coat.
