Killing Ornstein first is the easier way to go, yeah. I prefer to do the opposite, since Ornstein is still easier to fight even in phase 2, he just grows into a giant but his attacks I think are all pretty much the same. He does get a butt slam though. Regardless the main reason is because you can get Ornstein's gear if you save him for last, his weapon and armor are way cooler than Smough's.
