What is the best way to work as an auto-entrepreneur and have a UK income?

I plan to set myself up in France under the auto-entrepreneur scheme soon, making and selling soft furnishings. At the same time, I will also have a small income from the UK working for a limited company of which I am the only share holder (but not director). My queries are:

What would be the most efficient tax structure to take this UK income, either as a UK employee of the company or as a UK self-employed person?
Will either way make a difference in social charges payments and tax levels and where these are due to be paid?
Would my French income through the auto-entrepreneur scheme be seen as a separate income from the above and be taxed accordingly?
Alternatively, could I invoice the UK company through my auto-entrepreneur status and, if yes, would this be preferable?
My husband is still working (and living) in the UK and thus tax resident there. Is his income of influence on the way my charges and taxes are calculated or will I be taxed and charged entirely independently from him?
