Is there any reason to play the campaigns in a particular order, or should I just pick whichever one strikes my fancy?
Does it matter what order I play the campaigns in

There are preset heroes, but only if you play Heroes VI offline. When you aren't connected to the Conflux, you can choose from a list that contains a single Might and a single Magic hero from each faction.
When you are connected to the Conflux, you are restricted to your dynasty heroes and the factions they represent. However, as you finish the campaigns, you gain the heroes from those campaigns. I'm guessing (hoping?) that once you have finished all the campaigns you will have a might and a magic hero from every faction in your dynasty.
If I'm wrong, or if you want to play online skirmish or multi-player games right now (and be able to choose the faction you start with), you have to create your own hero for each faction.
It depends.
Generally speaking, a larger army is better than a few levels on a hero, so that would indicate that it is better to take the gold. However, as your hero gains levels, it takes more and more experience to gain a level, which makes the experience in the treasure chests worth relatively less, which indicates that you should take the experience to maximize its effectiveness.
Therefore, I usually choose gold on a small / medium map (when I know I will encounter enemy heroes in a short timeframe) and experience on larger maps (when I know I will have time to explore and build out my main town prior to encountering the enemy).
In the late game, you usually have more than enough gold and a high level hero, which is when I start leaving the treasure chests so that secondary heroes can get a few easy levels.

Best Answer
There's no benefit to playing the campaigns in a specific order. (Aside from the tutorial campaign, of course)
There is however, minor benefits from finishing the five "standard" campaigns before taking on the "final" campaign: since you must pick a hero from one of the finished campaigns for the final campaign, finishing more campaigns gives you a greater pantheon of heroes to pick from.
That said, there is nothing particularly relevant about beating one of the 5 standard campaigns before another.
