I am Hanafi. Is it preferable for me to pray Asr at home individually or to pray in the masjid with Jamaat at Shafee time?

Answer

It is preferable for you to perform Asr Salaat with Jamaat according to the Shaaf'ee time.

Many Hanafi scholars hold the same view as that of Imaam Shaaf'ee on the commencing time of Asr Salat.
