The concept of "who goes first in a round" is pretty much irrelevant (and technically even not even applicable, since there's actually no such thing as a round).

I'd be inclined to use the Who Draws First? rules to set the turn order, overriding the Basic Speed sequence, and keeping that order once the quick-draw Contest sets it.
Assuming the slower Speed wins the draw, where would you put them in the sequence if there are other combatants getting involved?
