It depends on what you use the most, are you primarely a Bow or an Axe user?
In my opinion you should upgrade your bow first, since you'll need Hardstones for both the Bow and the Axe, and you'll find better weapons further down the game than the Axe.
Upgrade your bow to +7, that way, when you defeat the Armored Spider Boss in 2-1, you can make the Lava Bow with the soul he drops, it's the best bow for characters with Dexterity less than 30.
