For retirement, priority should be:

1. Roth 401k with match (match will not be Roth).
2. Traditional 401k with match.
3. Roth IRA.
4. Roth 401k without match.
5. Traditional IRA.
6. Traditional 401k without match.
7. Variable annuity.
8. Taxable investment account.

Always growth stock mutual funds with long, good track records split evening between large cap, mid cap, small cap and international.

After getting out of debt and get your full emergency fund, you do steps 4, 5, and 6 at the same time. Once you own your home, so many life choices open up.
