I upgraded Giants, barbs and archers before that, since they are my main farming army. I had neglected DE troops at TH8, so everything was pretty much lvl1 or 2. As soon as the max drills kicked in, I started upgrading them and I am currently still doing that.
Also, there is a point pretty quickly into your TH9 journey where you are going to have so much (regular) elixir that you won't know what to do with it. If at all possible, try getting your walls to lvl8 so you can dump the excess E there.
