It's unlikely to make much of a difference processing wise if you sharpen before or after, unless your subject is badly out of focus. However, on balance I'd go for sharpening beforehand because then in PP you are judging your final output, so it will be easier to make those aesthetic choices you need to make in PP rather than having to bear in mind there is another processing step afterwards.
