The latter. Under current rules, 2 years from the date FLR(M) leave is issued.

why would you want to apply for spouse visa? go straight for ILR. You become eligible for ILR at the same time your husband becomes eligible if he was on a Work Permit. No probationary period for work permit dependents.
