Should I complete Dawnguard before the main quest?

It shouldn't matter. The only change will be how you get the Dragon Elder Scroll. You'll need it for both questlines, so you'll have to get it back if you got rid of it after completing one of the questlines.

Should I do Dawnguard before or after main quest?

Main quest, and in between, do Dawnguard, (and then Hearthfire) and lastly, Dragonborn after Main Quest. This is how Bethesda likely intended it and it makes the most sense. You can tell based on the release dates for each DLC. Dragonborn goes after Alduin and while doing so, gets involved with the vampire/dawnguard.

Should I complete Dawnguard or Dragonborn first?

Enemies will be more powerful but the Dragonborn will be just as powerful by then. I recommend you to do Dragonborn last if this is your first playthrough. When you will be done with the mainquest and Dawnguard, you will find the Solstheim and the DB questline as a breath of fresh air.
