Dragon Ball Super has multiple forms of media like movies, manga and anime series that tells its stories. Here's a chronological order that picks the best ones in my opinion to give the most enjoyable experience from Dragon Ball Super.
Battle of Gods Arc
-Dragon Ball Super episode 1-2
-Dragon Ball Z Battle of Gods movie
First two episodes of Dragon Ball Super tell us what happened to characters after the Buu Saga while presenting new threat in the background while movie itself gives a quick overview of it already, first two episodes of DBS does it much better and goes way more in depth like (SPOILERS) informing us about Gohan and Videl marriage, Goku having a job, Vegeta being a father or Satan explaining who is Buu to worlds population.
Movie pick ups right after episode 2 telling rest of the story with much better pacing and way more pleasant animation and art style. Another thing movie does better than the series is giving us a chance to look at Goku's character in new light, something that was completely thrown out of the series.
Resurrection of F Arc
For this one I really encourage to watching a fan cut that combines scenes from anime and movie creating one final product called "Resurrection F - super cut". If you don't want to or can't find it, here is an alternative:
-Dragon Ball Super episodes 16-18
-Dragon Ball Z Resurrection of F movie
Just like previously episodes 16, 17 and 18 nicely builds up events that are about to happen in Ressurection of F movie answering some of the questions that were left after the movie. Those episodes are one of the funniest ones in the series aswell.
As for the movie, it does again way better job at animation and art. Anime version is one of the worst experiences for your eyes in the entire franchise.
This is the point where arcs stopped having movie adaptations, manga on the other hand started having longer chapters and adapt the story in it's own way. At this point you can either stick to one or the other. Both have it's ups and downs, list below is my take that takes the best parts from both materials.
Universe 6 Arc
-Dragon Ball Super episode 28
-Dragon Ball Super manga chapters 6-10
-Dragon Ball Super episodes 35-41
-Dragon Ball Super episode 43
Black Arc
-Dragon Ball Super episode 47
-Dragon Ball Super manga chapters 15-22
-Dragon Ball Super episodes 65-67
Baseball/Hit Assasination Arc
-Dragon Ball Super episodes 70-72
Universe Survival Arc
-Dragon Ball Super manga chapters 27-31
-Dragon Ball Super episode 88-131
