I think this is a conditional.
The sentence can be divided in 2 parts, like this: "1) If I were you, 2) I would go home now."
Then, the second conditional is: "PAST , COULD/WOULD."
I think the first one is the most appropriate.

Hi Anon,
The first one would be the right choise.
It's the second conditional.Follow this:
If + would + infinitive(second conditional)
Use : To talk about unreal or improbable situations now or in the future(that will probably not happen)
E.g: If I knew her name, I would tell you.
Hope that helps,
