The start of 1+2 are fine.
The ending sounds better to me like this:
... had the opportunity like you do.
... had the opportunity you do.

I would like to introduce a new possibility:

2 is better. "hubiera" means "would have had."
"I wish I would have had an opportunity like yours" sounds good to me.
Other ways to say it:
"I wish I would have had an opportunity like that."
"I wish I would have had the opportunity like you did."

La segunda respuesta es una traducción más literal, pero pienso que la primera es mejor porque es más común en inglés. Pero si usted quiere decir la segunda, no es incorrecta también.

both are fine but #1 is a little easier to say.
Also,
I wish I'd had an opportunity like yours. (This is how it comes out most naturally to me)
