Is it better to have FUT before FUE if you want to maximize the amount of total grafts transplanted in a lifetime?

I have usually heard its better to have FUT first then FUE. However, one surgeon said it's better to have FUE first? Wouldn't the strip have missing follicles if FUT was done second therefore yielding less grafts? Thanks!
