Hope you have a great day! I'd recommend doing Carn nan Gobhar first for several reasons: it gets the long boggy bit out of the way at the start of the day, going up Carn Liath first is a bit of a grind, and navigating from Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgainn to the col to its east in poor vis and snow cover is tricky (but much easier in reverse). And don't forget that the true summit of Carn nan Gabhar is neither the first cairn you come too, nor the trig point, but another cairn some 150m NE of the trig: this isn't totally obvious on the 1:50k map!
