For getting your garage cool it doesn't make much difference. If I were to choose I would insulate the door.

Now if you are going to keep your garage cool for hours on end as in a office space or a quilting machine room, then I would insulate. But cooling your garage for an afternoon while you putter around it won't matter nor will the insulation ever pay for itself.

The difference between me and retired guy is I actually have a two ton mini split and he does not. I know what it costs to operate and he does not. Important differences when giving advice.
