That will be highly developer dependent. :)

Perhaps a target often overlooked until one tries to executes tests that 
need it is test-image.

When fixing a bug I commonly use "make jdk-image test-image" so I can 
test the fix.

When working on bigger code changes that likely need a lot of 
edit-compile cycles I'll get "make hotspot" working first.
