Spoiler :
It also depends a bit on difficulty level. I think on deity maintenance, gold-city is good as 3rd one. It hurts my soul to remain size 1 working such a mediocre tile, but is so scarce here pre-pottery (and pre-fishing) that I think you should do it. Also it's annoying that you can't build anything useful in the city, but I think worker should be the best choice. A bit depending on the difficulty level, pottery might be delayed because you need a lot of techs: masonry, fishing, AH.
I think blocking in general is a very bad habit, assuming you have good land without it like you do here. I mean 2nd city to wheat/sheep is good because it not only blocks, but is also a good city. I'd say don't settle faraway blockers if you can get say 7 decent cities without. Settling strongest sites first is very important, as they help you pump out more settlers/workers.
