Stock up on legacy movesets or wait for future?

My best 5 Golem are:
98% MS SE
96% MS SE
96% RT E
91% RT E
89% RT SE

I was holding off from evolving my 100% Geodude for future movesets, since I seemed to have decent movesets with good IVs already. But recently read that RT SE is the best moveset and mine's only 89% strong.

Now that I can use TMs, how should I think about this?
A. Use TM to convert my 98% MS SE to RT SE
B. Evolve 100% Geodude to see if I land RT SE directly (can fix later anyway if needed)

Another advantage I see for 'B' is that I can stock up on current movesets in case they become legacy soon (and future ones are worse).

Have a similar situation with Dragonite too - already have 100% DT H and 96% DT O, and holding on to a 100% Dratini.

Suggestions please?
[Note: Candy/dust not a problem]

Edit: Thanks for your responses. Evolved and got an RT/SE ? Now wondering if I should try to TM one of my 96/98 Golems to get Rock Blast. I don't have any RB so may be good for variety?

Evolve 100% geodude, if in the future another moveset becomes the best, you can use a tm for it.
Use tm to convert 98% to RT/SE.
Golem with rock moves will crush legendary birds (especially Ho-oh/Moltress/Articuno).

Personally i prefer same type attacks for fast/charge moves.

Unless you really need another one for raids/attacking, I would wait. You seem pretty set.

Evolve it immediately before Rock Throw becomes legacy in the future.

There are very few rock/rock sets out there. Stock up if you can!

I have a similar situation, 2 96 IV ms/se. I TM'd one of them to RT/SE already. Is consensus to TM the other one as well?

I have 3 fast TMs Left I don't plan on using for anything except legendaries.

Thanks for weighing in!

Golem: Do both, but B first.
1: Evolve 100% Geodude.
2: Quick TM 98% Golem.
Dragonite:
Evolve 100% Dratini.
