in terms of general upgrades, it's always best to go with wheels - it's rotational momentum and saving a few grams there can be equivalent to saving a few dozen grams other places. the only time you really want heavier wheels is during a tt, points race, or something long and drawnout where it helps to have more rotational momentum pushing you forward.
on that note, after wheels, cranks are the next best upgrade.
carbon stem, handlebars, and seatpost are usually less about saving weight and more about comfort/fit.
