Depends on individual preference. When my TH9 lab was ready, this was my flow:
Archer , Barb, Loon, Giant,
Seldom use Giant until recently, but still 1-2 only.
Barch FTW
Loon for war

All previous Town Halls I did Archers -> Barbs -> War Troop ... however for TH9 I am doing Balloons first as I am in a clan that wars all the time. After Balloons I plan on getting my farming troops up...based on highest gains I will do Giants -> Barbarians -> Archers this time around. Hope that helps.
Like everyone else, upgrade what you use.
Myself;
Barbs (farm) > Hogs (war) > loons (war/farm) > minions (farm) > archers (farm)
In every other lab upgrade the archers were first, but in th9 the upgrade for archers is not a good buff. It is half the increase in hit points and dps than the previous archer upgrade for a much more expensive price. The best upgrade for farming troops for me were barbs followed by giants and loons.
Just because of your army I'd go giant -> barb -> archer, since giant gains a lot, barb gains some, and archer upgrade really doesn't improve much.
I'm going loons -> giants -> barbs -> archers, just cause lvl6 loons are amazing ;)
Typically you want to do farming troops, then war troops, then spells, then everything else. If you BArch I would recommend doing barbs first since they get a bigger stat increase and are cheaper (you need a lot of elixir at the start of TH9 so this frees some up to spend on other stuff).
