I’m a first year MBB associate interested in PE ops, but also looking to get my MBA eventually.

What would be the logical path to make the transition? (Using an MBA to transition, transitioning to PE ops pre-MBA, returning to MBB post-MBA and exiting at manager level, etc)

If getting into PE Ops is your #1 priority I would apply to PE Ops around your 2nd year MBB anniversary. If you get a good role, love to PE OPs. If not, go to MBA and use the pre MBA internship, MBA internship and full time recruiting season to get three additional opportunities to get your foot in the PE Ops door.

If you're dead set on an MBA (nothing wrong with that) you will get three shots at PE Ops instead of four (pre MBA internship, MBA internship, full time recruiting), but you will miss the 2-year mark full time recruiting window.
