Which DLC is better Dawnguard or Dragonborn?

No contest. Dragonborn. Dragonborn is far more interesting than Dawnguard, as you get to explore a new island with two wildly different cultures (the Dunmer and the Skaal), plus make side trips to the creepy plane of Oblivion called Apocrypha.

Should I do Dawnguard or Dragonborn DLC first?

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.

You can do Dawnguard as non-Dragonborn, because I've done it (my first time to Blackreach, in fact!), BUT you will need to be prepared to cast a spell to gain access to the College (and join it), i.e. you can't use the 'I'm the Dragonborn, pal, can't you make an exception?'

Both sides are fun, if you're into archery, or enjoy lycanthropy, then go with the Dawnguard, you can't be both a wolf and vampire so if you like being a werewolf you can't be a vampire. If your character is a strong archer, the crossbow is worth your time. if you want to be a vampire lord then side with the vampires.
