Assuming 25 production squares (rest is taken by non-gold buildings) and level 2 buildings, monster nests have the highest production per square. Assuming you check at least every 2 hours and sleep for 7 hours, 25 monster nests will give you 19 production hours or 19*25*900 = 427500 gold a day, while 12 training fields + 1 monster nest gives you 24*12*1400 + 19*1*900 = 420300 gold. If you sleep 7 hours and ~20 minutes, you break even.

7200 gold isn't really worth the effort of having to collect at least every two hours, so training fields are the way to go, but if you can get 24 production hours a day (if you wake up every 2 hours and collect), the difference goes up to 120000 in favor of monster nests.
