What is the proper amount of level to send through the channel and mixbuss?
There is no right answer. Any signal that travels through the plugins will gain the
nonlinear response of the particular channel.
On some desks, you can experiment by sending all your channels to a few stereo busses,
and then using those busses to send to the mixbuss. This way, you can hear the effect
of driving more level into the virtual mixbuss.
You may or may not like the sound of the modeled mix amps as they reach their
threshold and start to saturate... Use your ears to judge.

There is no rule that says you must put the channel plugin on the first insert. The last
insert will work fine. We do recommend putting the mixbuss plugin as the first insert on
the master fader for most authentic replication of the hardware.
