If you do both, definitely aerate first. The slice seeder will place the grass seed just below the surface, where it needs to be. The aerator would then just dislocate a lot of it.
How much a lawn benefits from aeration depends on the soil/turf condition If it's compacted soil or has excessive thatch, where water has a hard time penetrating, aeration can be a big benefit. In general, if it hasn't been done in many years and you're renovating, I'd aerate.
