There are a couple animations that play when I embark into a Titan, from the back, front, or top. If there is a difference, what's the quickest path into it and getting control? Or are they just graphical differences and it doesn't matter?
Additionally, am I liable to get shot boarding if I embark from one side or another? As of now I haven't died in the process, but there aren't many crack shots yet.

There is no time difference when getting in a Titan ─ if it seems to take longer for the Pilot to climb in (say entering through the top of an Atlas), then the time lost is made up when the Titan GUI comes online at a faster pace. So to answer your question directly, it does not make a difference.
However, there is currently a method of disembarking your Titan at a faster rate (around 25% faster I believe) and that is to look straight down as you hop out. This can be very useful when you are trying to take care of rodeo attacks as fast as possible before they tear your Titan apart.
