Do I understand correctly that both tenses are possible? If so, is there a difference in meaning or are they interchangeable?

Subjunctive vs indicative
>> Bear in mind that this type of hypothetical sentence, also accepts El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto de Subjuntivo (instead of El Condicional Perfecto).
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Yo que tú / Si yo fuera tú / Yo de ti for If I were you in Spanish"

Hola Cinzia
Yes, both tenses are correct and interchangeable using these structure:
Yo de ti hubiera aceptado su oferta.
If I were you I'd have accepted their offer.
Yo de ti habría aceptado su oferta.
If I were you I'd have accepted their offer.
There is no difference in meaning and no specific context to use one or the other; it's a question of preference to the speaker.
