Unless your top has rust under the padded roof, I would do the roof first. The reasoning is that when taking off the old padding, there is a high possibility of scratching any new paint. The new top is easy to mask off for painting..
Both at once. Remove the roof and find out what else needs to be dealt with. You're going to drool solvents and other foul stuff down the side of the car when removing the old glue anyway, so no point in getting that on fresh paint. Once thats dealt with, bodywork, paint, then put the top back on. You don't want overspray on the top, and you want to make sure there is paint up under the edge of the top so there aren't any funny paint lines or anything like that. Just beware if that top is heavily cracked, you may find ugly things under it. Part of the roof of my car is not original thanks to a combination of an improperly sealed windshield and a really horribly bad vinyl top.
