I like to focus on one new cd at a time or I'd buy both. Which would you suggest to buy first of their newest cd's?
Death Cab. My Morning Jacket is hype.

I'd take MMJ over death cab any day. Heard a couple of DCFC's albums, and even seen them live once (opening for PJ), and they're just not for me. MMJ is great IMO.
MMJ are the best band in the world right now. Death Cab are a cheesey OC emo band. I think that explains my opinion.
In my opinion all music is emo, even PJ, and the OC has little to do with Death Cab who has been around much longer than that show. Ben Gibbard is one of the best lyricist you can find today. But, it depends on what you like. Death is king of indie in my mind, and this is even after they signed to a major label. Read this:

...along with a lot of other things.
Get Plans first, but don't stall on Z, it's fantastic.
"Many of Pearl Jam's most loyal fans are teenagers who do not have the money to pay the $50 or more that is often charged today for tickets to a popular concert...we have made a conscious decision that we do not want to put the price of our concerts out of the reach of many of our fans." 6/94
So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
That is why I'm singing
I got both when they came out so i've had timeto digest both of them. I hardly ever find myself listening to the DCFC album. It's like that with most of their albums. I buy them love them at first then they bore the shit out of me.
MMJ i keep coming back for more. I had Z on heavy rotation this past weekend. It is a great album. go with Z, but plans is not a bad album it's just typical DCFC.

I can tell you that I downloaded 4 MMJ shows last week and last tuesday was the first time I really listened to them. Plans is a solid album and shouldnt disappoint, and MMJ may be more impressive live than on album. Having said that, I would probably get the MMJ disc.
