I would say front first. Thats what ive done. And the reason i say so, is that is not only your front suspension, but it also plays its part in your stearing. Sure the rear will help you land jumps and bumps, but the first thing to hit anything is going to be your front end. So if you have a crappy front suspen. then it will bounce your teeth out and send your bike into a bad setup for the rear suspension to try and make up for, which in most cases, it wont even have a chance!
Put Shee shocks up front and a 400ex rear shock, and you'll be golden, (cause i think your as strapped for cash on your blaster as I am!)

Make sure you don't want to go wider or long travel on the front before you get shocks. At $800 the Elkas are more expensive then A-Arms, and you would need new valves at the least if you changed the A-arms later.
you did make a good point.. but... he's still better off getting fronts first, and you can get A-arms for a descent price anyway...
go front first, b/c u hit them first, and if your front breaks or something you are screwed... if the back breaks for some reason... you aren't quite as screwed... and the back has a less chance of breaking as well..and ... lots of reasons..but..front first lol
