It seems almost impossible (even with HQ ingredients) or I'm just incompetent. LOL

Since I'm gunna use the food anyway, which is better? I've been learning towards the control one but I could be totally wrong about this.
I default to control bonus, but if you see you're just falling short of CPs to do a desirable rotation, CP food is good. Ditto for Craftsmanship food if you're just falling short of being able to cut a synth step out of the rotation. These situations will depend, of course, on exactly what you're synthing and your own stats, so it's very situational.

Yes, 40 durability is tough to HQ. They're all intermediate crafting materials, though, so I don't even bother to try. Just make NQ; most of the time you'll be able to craft an HQ final product out of that.
