Depends what your needs are at the moment. Concrete, stone, wood, and lumber are all building materials - if your base is mostly complete, all you need is enough of those resources to build anything new that comes out in future patches. In that case you're probably safe with what you already have, as there should be enough time to let them hit your resource max before another update gives you something to use them it on.

If you do have more buildings that you want, consider your lumber and concrete production. Ideally you want the raw material coming in faster than you can refine it, or at least as fast as you can. That will eliminate bottlenecks and make sure you can get the resources you need as quickly as possible.

For endgame, iron, coal, and oil (and of course steel) are the most important because they're used for unit production and repair. Even when your base is complete, you'll probably want to continue building your army for PVP, new missions that come along with the patches, and special events.

So, if you're making concrete so fast that your stone stockpile is dropping, get the stone. If it's happening for wood, get that. If neither one is happening, or you don't have that much left to build, get oil.
