Conventional current is the direction of flow of current while electron current is the direction of flow of electrons.
They are opposite to each other i.e. conventional current flows from positive potential or higher potential to negative or lower potential while electrons flow from negative terminal to positive terminal.

Which current is preferred first, conventional or electron?

Conventional current was found first, but proved to be incorrect. Conventional current states that electrons flow from positive to negative when they actually flow from negative to positive.

Conventional current is when ever electrons are moves due to thermal energy (non radioactive recombination) current flows opposite direction of moving of electrons. This current is called conventional current.

Conventional current flow is taken to be flow of holes.

Because of flow of current in earlier days named as conventional current unrespective of knowledge of electron flow inside ,this convention is still used so as to make earlier device standards compatible with today technology.
