If both are ok, which should be learned first?

Well your instructor should teach you all three.
It’s called the building block method of flight instructing or any instructing.
Baby steps.
Initially level climbs and level turns.
Then teach
Level turn then transition to climb
Level climb then transition to turn
Climbing turn ( blended)
In normal regular flying you’ll use all variations.
It makes no sense to teach a blended maneuver to a newbie if they don’t understand the basics.
It’s like cooking, learn all the ingredients.
Don’t learn by chugging them all together and hoping for the best.
