Both ways work fine. As long as you run a buildworld before [build|install]kernel, everything should work. Which is more advisable is just personal preference. There are some people who want to make sure the new kernel boots & doesn't kill any hardware before updating their userland, so they would probably [build|install]kernel, make sure everything's OK, then installworld. If you don't care about this (for example, you're running on a relatively expendable box), then you could just make installworld && make buildkernel KERNEL=FOO && make installkernel KERNEL=FOO.
