So strictly speaking, neither I guess? I usually don't follow the recommended order, but I also don't gun for my favorite. I try to start with something that could be fun, later get through routes that don't interest me and leave the most intriguing for last. I like seeing how my initial impressions and guesses hold (or don't) up, I think it's part of the fun. However, I do take a glance at the recommended order anyway. It's so I don't end up getting heavily invested in a route that has some locked endings, for example.
