According to me it much depends on what hero you're planning to be. Throwables for a pikemen are always a priority. However if you're going for Marauder you already own a very good polearm. In such a case I'd go hero 1st to take the advantage of Marauder power and hope ppl would bring some nice throwables I could use. Should you want to make MP I would suggest to get yourself CTS first and upgrade to hero after that. Either way, I'd worry about weapons and char upgrade well before armour. Pikemen depend much on mobility and they don't get hit as often as other classes.
