If it were me...

Distortion/fuzz/Gains first

Modulators second

Check this Boss link out for a great explanation

But as you can see there are no rules...

I like to keep the tuner out of the chain (one less load on the line). Also, the auto wah should go before the gain because any volume or gain adjustment will affect the quack in the auto wah (higher volume or more line volume will make the quack brighter and tighter). Running the OD after the auto wah will be better so you can control the quack via the guitar's vol. And modulation (tremolo, chorus, reverb) goes last. So, to make a short story long, here was my set up in 2010 minus the MXR stereo chorus which was at the end.

Strat>BYOC Wah>GGG Auto Wah> BYOC OD2>MXR stereo chorus>amp1 and amp 2.

Thats my rule, so I'd go
Tuner>Trem>Wah>OD>Chorus in your situation.
