If you use the NaOH on the methanol solution of testosterone propionate and estradiol benzoate it will cleave the esters of each and form a salt with estradial. The end product would be testosterone suspension.
If you use STB (estrogen solubilizer) on the methanol solution you will cleave off the benzoate only and form a salt with estradiol. This would result in an end product of testosterone propionate.
Both NaOH and STB effectively remove estradiol from the solution, it just depends on what you want your end product to be.
If you want to get really crazy you could esterify the free testosterone after using NaOH, but you'd be better off not trying this in a home lab, or for that matter with testosterone derived from synovex.
