I guess if you play 1.12 w/ the BJR mod you won't build much in England since you start with low manpower. I'm a novice but I'd guess most important builds for Brits are a DD, an INF, and air.

In the 'vanilla' game (i.e. not the BJR mod), you have a fair amount of flexibility. You could send the whole RN to the Med, or to the Atlantic, or divvy it up however you like. I've seen players send infantry + the starting UK fighter & bomber down to Egypt in '39, before the Italians enter. You could choose a heavy intervention in France, sending over infantry, the works.

So... to answer your question, it really depends on your grand strategy. If you want to go with that last option, you'd want infantry first, then airpower and maybe a commander. (You could base the commander & planes in Britain & still have them influence combat on the Continent.) OTOH, maybe you want to put convoy protection first. Then a DD must be your first purchase. Etc.

To me, there is no single answer to your question because there's no single strategy to win in this game.
