Buying both
The two routes share 8 nodes (Aileron Auxiliary Pressurization Device, Lightweight Blisk, Flap Auxiliary Pressurization Device, Takeoff Weight Augmentation (MSL) and 4 more), and a shared node is only paid once. Buying both costs 650,000 MRP instead of 820,000, saving 170,000 MRP. At Mission 16 that is 10 runs, about 47 min with 1.5 minutes of loading per run.
Which one first?
Both need the same MRP. Role matters too: the F/A-18E Super Hornet is multirole and the F/A-18F Super Hornet is multirole. Special weapon sets differ, so check the full lists on each guide.
