If you want to reach rounds 40+, you'll need both of those upgrades. I would also advise Spike Storm/Spiked Mines, Sabotage Supply Lines, Spectre and/or Ground Zero, at least Tier 3 Super Monkeys and MIB Village.

As for reaching rounds 30+, Ninjas, 4/2 Farms, Mauler spam and Tier 4 Spike Factories.
