Best would be all of it.

Jesse is one of the best WP Devs there is. And his courses pack a mean punch with information.

Invest some time into learning from his courses.

Hi,

This all depends on you knowledge of PHP in my opinion, I started the WordPress courses with ZERO knowledge of PHP and it was all a little to confusing and because of my lack of understanding it resulted in lots of re-watching videos and failed code challenges.

If you have little knowledge of PHP the PHP Basics is enough to at least give you a starting point to understand what is going on.

I would then recommend starting the WordPress Development Track, this will start you at the basics of understanding WordPress and how it works letting you better understand how to code for it.

Then Ecommerce with WordPress and WooCommerce is your way to go :)

The best advice I can give you with learning WordPress is take your time to really understand it, HTML and CSS can be relatively forgiving at times, WordPress' PHP is NOT, you will be able to make great sites with WordPress once a good foundation is there :)

If you ever get stuck or don't understand something don't hesitate to tag me in a question I will do my best to help you out :)
