My spontaneous thought would be:
Tuner -> Whammy -> Wah/Volume -> EQ -> NS
But since you don't mention any gain pedals (boost/fuzz/od/comp) I don't quite see the need for the NS. Does your amp have an effect loop? I'd probably put it there, and the EQ too, with the NS last in line before the power amp. Makes most sense to me, but as always ymmv.

I would just be using amp dist + the eq for a solo mid boost. The EQ could give a little noise, right?
Gotcha. Clearly the thing to do is to move the pedals around, play extensively with every combination, and listen to the sounds you get. EQ pre/post-power amp depends on what kind of mid boost you want: pushing the preamp or accentuating the preamp.
These were my thoughts earlier:
Tuner first, because I would want as clear a signal as possible when tuning.
Whammy second, so the signal is still clear to allow for good tracking.
Wah/volume - as noted by Patrick, wahs like to be early(ish) in the chain. Also, volume pedal before gain pedals let you control the input to these (I hate fiddling with the volume control on my guitar, feet are better).
EQ - depends on your needs, see above.
NS - this should be the last stop before the power amp to really catch all unwanted noise.
Any future fuzz pedal(s) I'd put before the tuner, delay before the NS.
Etcetera... this is no exact science, which makes it all the more fun!
