Depends. If a guy has maxed defenses, but level one walls, he has very little right to be respected. However, if you have maxed level 11 walls, and non-maxed defenses or barracks...Brandon
you are an intense farmer. But max out the defenses first!

I think the best thing to do with your builders is save one builder for walls, and one for heroes. That way you don't end up with months and months of just those to work on(You still will, it'll just be shorter)
Defenses. BUT: I love maxing my walls, and defenses take forever to upgrade.
Defenses definitely, as people said there are too many ways around high level walls (all air troops, WBs, hogs etc) where walls are useless. IMO, walls are only for the really dedicated farmers, casual players like myself cant do both at the same time, and I plan to stop at Level 8 (with 20% legos). of course, if you can farm like 8m per day that by all means go for walls all the way while defenses are upgrading.
Between defenses and walls, defenses are more important. Defenses are what kill the attackers. But, walls slow attackers down and good walls can stop them for a long time allowing your defenses to kill them before they can do too much damage.
It's not a "one or the other" question. You need both. This is why you hear from so many people say that you should max each base level before you move on. Up through TH8, I was able to do defenses and walls simultaneously. At TH9, the cost of defenses and walls are so high that I didn't have the gold to do both so I did defenses first. Once they were done, I started on lvl 9 walls.
When you're th9 all you get hit by is balloonion, hogs, and the very very rare healer giant. I say max defenses first for that reason.
Tim, I'm looking at your village. I like it.
