Both. I build as many BSYs as I can afford to keep paying to produce, then build the rest colony ships. Some new planets get SYs right away as well (usually not the first couple, as I try to get those to be resource rich to allow for much more expedient expansion; you have to pay for all those new SYs on new planets somehow  ).
Primitive, you are being a little simplistic on the BSY model.... it comes in many variations. You can do all that leap frogging by starting with a few BSYs too, not just only colony ships.
