Personally, I prefer to take out the hands before going for the head. Even though the hands have a defense rating of 9 (while the head has a defense rating of 6), they only have 800 HP each (as opposed to 6000 for the head). Besides, by taking out the hands, dodging Skeletron's attacks become much easier.
