Please help... I am looking for suggestions on dynamics and effects processing for both live sound reinformanet and recording. I have the following, with most effects recently acquired, and any suggestions for ordering, etc. would be most appreciated.

Mackie 1604VLZ Board (has channel and main inserts and 4 aux busses)
Crown amps and speakers (got this part down pretty well)
Effects:
4 x 2 channel compressors
2 x Muti FX processors
1 x 31 band Stereo Graphic EQ
1 x Parametric EQ (stereo, 5 band constant Q, sweepable / overlapping freq.)

This is where I need the help. What's the most effective order for dynamic and effects processors? Should they go on the aux busses, Main inserts, or channel inserts? Would a combination of all various channel inserts and main inserts be better?

I run 6 mics on the drum kit, separate mics for two guitar amps and two vocal mics. No bass at this point, but it's coming so I plan a single mic on a bass amp.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
