Upgrade Minions lv2 or BK lv2?

Pretty much says in the title. I'm TH8 and have level 5 barch. Other troops are level 4.
Do I spend 10k DE on minions to level 2 and 'waste' 5 days research time or upgrade BK to level 2 and upgrade something like giants to level 5 instead?

Thanks

Shouldve had lvl 5 bk at th 7 and lvl 2 minions at th 7. Get the minions lvl 3 and get barb king lvl 10

Didn't want to spend weeks trying to save DE at TH7 had all buildings maxxed and at TH7 saving the DE would've delayed upgrading by a week or two.

But it didn't answer the question of which one I should upgrade first.

If you intend to use BAM, then Minions, else BK.

Also, imo, Minions are better since BK you can trigger whenever you have the de and builder free, unlike the lab.

Overall my reco would be minions, and you should get BK to lvl 2 by the time minions finish too. It not too difficult as in TH8 you have the drill too.
