I would do them before.
Apart from the fact that you have more energy, because when I do cardio with my abs already tired, the abs get worked out while I run/bike(by maintaining an erect posture without leaning over), so it adds the cherry on top of my ab workout making my abs look good.
Also the fact that while running the abs contract, meaning I will get a better feel of my abs during my normal day, and this coupled to low bf makes my abs visible.

you are ALWAYS suppose to do your weight training prior to cardio (besides a light warm up) since you must first deplete your glycogen stores before you can start burning fat. So if you do abs prior to cardio, you will deplete your gylcogen and then once you do your cardio, you will already be in fat burning mode. You can't spot reduce belly fat by doing abs regarless if you do them pre or post cardio.
