It should absolutely be done client-side (i.e., with orders).

However there are still two ways to do this:

* Client calculates orders for the unit before it's produced, server
automatically assigns them.  Orders must be recalculated any time
production is changed.

* Client determines when a new-unit-packet means a newly built unit, and
builds and assigns orders for the unit then.

The latter seems wrong to me.  But the first is no picnic either.
