GOG did list Dragon Commander first, by quite awhile. That might not have anything to do with which is better for Larian, though. Other than saying a developer's own shop is best, I don't recall any comments saying one digital distribution channel is better or worse than another.

Steam would give you more options for online play (Steamworks lobby system) and is 10% off if you own D2:DC on Steam. On the other hand, GOG is DRM free and the pre-order includes a couple bonus games.
