SPCC/SXT in workflow

Adam,
I've garnered some useful (to me) information while troubling shooting an image issue with SXT with Russ Croman.  The other tidbit was in a separate question but they sort of fit together.

According to Russ, if there are issues with artifacts after SXT try without drizzle.  Drizzle can impact how well SXT works in this current version in some instances.  I inferred from his comments that this is something that may be addressed in a version updated to SXT.

A couple of other things that I hadn't seen explicitly stated elsewhere as recommendation/issues for SPCC/SXT/NXT/BXT.
SPCC "expects" close to raw images (assuming DBE is ok but it wasn't discussed), so Russ feels SPCC should be done before much of any other processing.  So I'm going to give this a try on my troublesome IC63 project for monochrome.
DBE
ChannelCombination
SPCC
BXT (BXT needs the multiple channels in performing its operations optimally).
SXT 
NXT (to the starless).  NXT destroy's some of the data that SXT and BXT work with which can impact the results so it seems NXT should be last thing before stretching and/or the last thing after the other processing steps are completed.

To qualify this, Russ does not want or intend to give specific workflow recommendations.  He was just pointing how the tools interact and how that can affect the result provided.  So this workflow I garnered from that conversation is an attempt to either avoid or mitigate the instances of negative interactions that could occur based on order of operations only - based on what I understood.

Is this something you've looked at/have any guidance on?
