I think it would depend on your playstyle;
If you are a solo player, I would go for the weapon, because I'm the only one doing damage...
But if you play mostly with a team, I would go for the helmet, as it would provide a lot more protection, as is normally needed on Team hunts.  

Hope it helps! :D

As a poor sword player I have bought Razor in first place. Playing in party there is no big difference between spiritthorn helmet and cobra hood/falcon coif when you have good healing from your friends. Razor improves your playstyle in many ways and you can earn better money with that. As 700 ek you can hit spots like wz3, upper roshamuul south, mitmah sanctuary - all with decent gear, and out there you can earn between 1-1,8kk per hour together with nice exp. Coming back to my first sentence, the choice which I made personally - buying Razor first - improved my bank account because it opened more spots for me to hunt and make better money, after that I have bought helmet quite fast.

As with every other vocation, your priority should always be damage first, so the first upgrade regarding BiS items should always be the weapon.

As an EK myself, I have prioritized:

Soulshredder -> Sanguine Razor -> Spiritthorn Set -> Pair of Soulwalkers -> Sanguine Legs

You have now the option of a Physical weapon BiS with Crypt Slicer, but I think it will still be the third option after Soulshredder and Razor.
