Strip: Fiberglass before or after coaming wall *PIC*

I'm sure it's been done both ways. What's the consensus. Should I fiberglass the deck before or after I build up the wood strip coaming wall. I'm leaning toward before, thinking the glass will lay flatter for wet out and cutting in the final cockpit opening after it's been glassed will add some support for sawing.
