I carbonate the water first, put syrup into the glass, and then add the carbonated water; this is primarily because my wife and I typically like a different amount of syrup in our sodas so I can customize it to our tastes.
Also, the Sodastream directions say not to carbonate any water that has syrups or other things added to it, but I don't know if it's actually something you can't do, or just a meaningless warning. There's pretty good fizzing when you add the soda water to certain syrups, and you might get a sudden reaction if you carbonated water that had a syrup in it. I honestly don't know, though.
Edit: For their own sryups, sodastream says you can add them directly to the bottle after carbonating. But the downside to this would be that you'd need to wash out the containers afterwards (can't put them in the dishwasher). Although you could just mix the syrup and water together in any empty 1-litre bottle, if you didn't want to measure it out each time you pour a glass.
