I also do the latter.  A bit counter intuitive, but I have actually found that 
getting the site to work properly and as desired in FF and then tweaking what 
is necessary for IE is easier and quicker then the other way around.

I think it is because it separates the problems of whether the error is my code 
or quirks of IE.  Once I have it worked out in FF and verified by a validator.  
I know the problems with my code have been worked out.  Then I can test in IE 
and usually don't have too many problems as long as I have avoided the worst 
short comings of IE.

...Personally I do the latter, seems more future proof to me.
