Subject: Amplified effects chain

I have a question for some of you guys who know about studio separates and
effects processing. I have an amplifier that consists of a tube preamp and
solid state amplifier (in a cabinet with 2 10s), and I have been running the
input (HiZ mic) through an Alesis Wedge to add a little reverb and some other
things before piping it into the preamp. I want to switch to an Alesis
MidiVerb (which will mount in the cabinet), and am curious whether I should put
the effects before the preamp (as I have been) or between the preamp and
amplifier in the chain. Either setup is workable, in fact, I am redesigning
the amp layout to put the input jacks in the top while all the rack units face
forward for control and visibility.

Anyone familiar with studio effects chains and how these two setups will
differ, which one is preferred?
