A response from a dear friend of mine has said: "I'm neither. Both traditional answers seem to be inadequate. God isn't temporal therefore there isn't a question of predestination 'before' or 'after' the fall, since we were chosen before time, before the foundation of the world."
However when we speak of God decree we often times speak of the decree in plurality sense decrees. So although there are ultimately just one decree and that is the decree to glorify Himself in the election and reprobation of some people. The question of supralapsarianism or infralapsarianism is not a question of order of the decrees for both are in sinc with one another. But the differentiation has to do with whether the objects of God's election and reprobation were to be created and fallen or were already created and fallen.
(I will continue to think and reflect more on this objection)
