Personally I much prefer Alt mode, I always saw it as kind of a 'reward' to see the finished bot mode at the end.

Ooooh. As I look at my shelves of packaging, I love having a mix!
As far as which way to transform first... it's a great question. Again, I love the mix, but I'll say that since they're robots in disguise, I prefer to start in disguise.

Alt mode , so I can see if the alt mode is any good, at times ( well more recent figures) tend to have dreadful paint apps in their alt mode which really makes the item disheartening. This can also be true to bot mode - An. UM as an example, but as was mentioned earlier by optimus1. i like transforming them to bot mode, then mebbe back to altmode, but to bot mode first

My impulse response was to say vehicle mode.
However, thinking about it a little more, I have to say it impressive when you buy a figure like Leader Prime or Leader Megatron, and you you can see them in all their robot glory. It also is better for character recognition, in a marketing point of view.
Although, I've always liked vehicle mode.

Robot mode because nowdays I really can't be bothered transforming most of the time.

"I don't care", but with more complex toys I guess I'd at least prefer it if whatever mode the toy starts in is the same as the mode that begins the instructions. Purple Animated Shockwave is packaged in Decepticon robot mode, but he has grey Shockwave's instructions, which begin as a tank. With a toy like that, where every part can have up to four different configurations, it can be a bugger working backwards through the instructions (which show the finished product of each step, presupposing you know exactly where the step began) in order to ensure each of the four modes is exactly right.

Tough one, but I voted Alt mode.
In my opinion this seems better for most series, possibly with the exception of Animated.
