Neither and both.

Initially, focus on obtaining five collectors and a single relay, then upgrade the relay once with Dark Matter, improving the output of all five collectors for a marginal cost.

After this, focus on upgrading each of your collectors one by one through each phase (Dark matter, then Red Matter) until you can afford a Matter Condenser. You'll probably want to use glowstone dust or blaze rods (Klein Star/Trans Table), for EMC for this purpose.

Once you get your first Condenser, focus less on upgrading, and more on making flowers with Mark I Collectors and Relays, then upgrading the collectors over time. Remember, Relays do not pay anything in and of themselves--the sooner you get more collectors, the more they will pay you back, allowing you to invest more EMC back into improving your output.
