Hoping to do part of the Portuguese route next April from Vigo and I'm wondering if I should book somewhere to stay for my first night as I'll arrive in Vigo around 18:30 or hope to get into a hostel when I get there.
I’d book. You don’t want to be hunting for a bed after your flight. Give yourself a good rest and set off bright as a button when you’re charged up and ready.

Unless you are a very confident traveller, having a booking for that first night will let you focus on the other things you need to do to get underway the next day. After that, you are in Galicia, and the past couple of times I have walked there, I have used Xunta albergues as often as possible. They cannot be booked, but they were never full. That said, where I have had to use other accommodation, I have booked that.
A friend wants to come on the Portuguese camino with me, but long-distance walking in a day is not her strong point. If we were leave Porto using the coastal route, head inland at Villa do Conde...
