What is more important when crunching? Higher Core speed or higher Shader?

Some say to leave Core at stock and overclock only the Shader. Some say to overclock both and leave memory untouched.

I'm trying to get the biggest output.

So.. what is it?

Core and shader first, memory second. Just be sure to test it properly and if your card starts to error out occasionally don't forget to take the OC back a bit and see if it helps.

Should it be both core and shader? Or just highest shader possible, leaving core and memory stock?
