HELP HOOKING UP MY NEW RIG!!!

I just recently bought a few new things and i need help hooking it all up together. I bought a Rocktron 300 rackmount Compressor / Limiter / Hush II noise gate, a rackmountable Sonic Maximizer, as well as a Sansamp DI pedal. I use a Ampeg B4R head so i just need to know if I should run all the rack gear through my effects loop(if so in what order), straight through my input, or a little bit of both???...Please any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
 
Ah, the days of buying a bunch of "stuff" to hook up. After 15 years of buying, selling, and generally throwing money out the window, I now realize why I am happy with nothing but one head into one cabinet.

Not a knock against you personally, just remembering my racks of compressors, noise gates, maximizers and all the other stuff.

hush should be last. It can't hush anything that comes after it. I'd put the 300 and BBE in the loop, with hush after the 300. Then put the Sans up front right between guitar and head.
