Whichever mission is active at the time, try to complete it ASAP so you can earn all the extra cash and gems they award you. Although you can only take on missions one at a time, some of these missions are achievable even if you do nothing.

As for the rest of the Epic Upgrades, feel free to go with whenever upgrades you feel deserves more attention. Reducing the improvement costs for your departments is the best way to go next.
