The order that makes the most sense depends on what the loss versus 
frequency looks like and how that compares to your loss budget.  Going 
after dielectric loss won't make sense if you have a deep resonance 
issue.  Conversely, if you have quasi-linear loss versus frequency, but 
just too much, searching for discontinuities and resonances isn't going 
to be very productive.
