Well there's no right or wrong answer: King first or Golem first?

But here are some points to really confuse you!

Did you factor in the Iron Fist special ability of King at lvl5?

Have you weighed the cost implications? A hero is free each and every attack it is used in, whereas Golem costs Dark Elixir each raid it is used in?

King can destroy Dark Elixir Storage whereas Golem only attack defensive buildings. Therefore King can be directly helpful in Dark Elixir farming to pay for Golem building and upgrades as well as for King upgrades.

Golem takes 30-spaces in your camps but King takes none... and so it essentially expands your army size.

Provided you had free builders and the required resources, you could unlock both Golem and King at the same time! Why choose one when you can have both!
