Effects chain recommendation please

So this is my current bass pedal board, the chain goes
1. Earnie ball Wah
2. Mxr 10 band eq
3. Boss limiter LM-2B
4. Nano POG
5. Boss chorus CE-5
6. EHX cockfight
7. EQD dispatch master
8. MXR bass d.I.+

How would you guys have the effects chain go?

the POG and d.i.+ are new to me and the chorus is upgraded from a Joyo chorus which I actually like but I figured id try something new. I mostly play Death From above in my basement but also lately been turning off the gain and just playing more classic rock.
 
A lot is a question of personal taste, but here’s my take :

Wah
Cockfight
Pog
Mxr
Limiter
Eq
Chorus
Dispatch

I prefer a compressor after drive, way type effects before drive, modulation towards the end and reverb/delay at the end. As for the EQ… I guess it could also be before the drive
 
This is how I'd get down...

Earnie ball Wah --> Boss limiter LM-2B --> Nano POG --> EHX cockfight --> EQD dispatch master --> Boss chorus CE-5 --> MXR bass d.I.+ --> Mxr 10 band eq (final tone shaping).

You have 2 outputs on the 10band... so you can get quite fancy if you like.
