My opinion is it depends on you situtation. I think usually it cheaper
and perhaps faster to get the power rating and then and the glider
rating. The exception is if you have a good soaring/gliding club
nearby where you can exchange your time for cost. It may take longer
learning to fly at a club but the cost for getting the glider rating
may be very low.

If you are going to do it strictly through commecial operations then
learning to fly power 1st *usually makes the most econmic sense. After
you have your power rating you can add the glider rating in probably
less than a week.

As long as you don't care about learning to do it right.
I've spent years finishing up what the one weekers don't do.
