Hi and welcome to Using English.

I think I've heard "what comes around goes around" more often, but they both seem okay to me.


Google gives 1.9 million hits for the goes/comes and 28.7 million for comes/goes.

RE: I think it's better to say "what goes around, comes around" because of the meaning of it.
Usually something goes away and then comes back ...
