Managing Bitlocker from MEM vs Config manager

I'm new to Microsoft Bitlocker, currently we use McAfee to manage and encrypt our devices, however, the plan is to move all devices to Microsoft and manage them via Intune/MEM  in a few months. I'm running into issues with Bitlcoker policies, they are not getting applied properly when applied from Intune/MEM.

Microsoft support is recommending that I should consider using a standalone "MBAM". 

We have SCCM (Config manager) in place and our systems are co-managed. Our workload has been configured for Intune\MEM to manage "Endpoint protection".

Questions:

1) Should I use SCCM (config manager) just for "Bitlocker" and disable "Bitlocker" policy in Intune\MEM?

2) Manage "Bitlocker" policy from Intune\MEM only?

3) Setup a standalone MBAM to manage "Bitlcoker"?

Your help is much appreciated
